Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylpropanal
DescriptionIsobutyraldehyde, also known as 2-methylpropanal or isobutyral, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain aldehydes. These are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 2 and 5 carbon atoms. Isobutyraldehyde exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Isobutyraldehyde exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
