2-Phenyl-2-butenal is a chemical that belongs to the group of fatty acids. It has been found in the chromatographic profile of fatty acids in human primary cells and can be detected by solid phase microextraction. This compound is also a major constituent of the fatty acid profiles of yeast species such as Monascus purpureus and Butyric acid, which has been isolated from this fungus. 2-Phenyl-2-butenal is an organic acid that is produced from the catabolism of ethyl decanoate, 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol, and isovaleric acid.
