Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Undecanone
Description2-Undecanone is found in cloves. 2-Undecanone is found in palm kernel oil and soya bean oil. 2-Undecanone is an important constituent of rue oil (Ruta graveolens) and found in many other essential oils. Also found in black currant buds, raspberry, black berry peach and other fruits. 2-Undecanone is used in flavourings 2-Undecanone is a ketone, also known as methyl nonyl ketone (MNK). It is soluble in ethanol, benzene, chloroform, and acetone, but its large carbon chain renders it insoluble in water. Like most methyl ketones, 2-undecanone undergoes a haloform reaction when in the presence of a base. For example, the reaction between 2-undecanone and sodium hypochlorite yields sodium decanoate, chloroform, and sodium hydroxide. 2-Undecanone, also known as methyl nonyl ketone and IBI-246, is an oily organic liquid manufactured synthetically, but which can also be extracted from oil of rue. It is found naturally in bananas, cloves, ginger, guava, strawberries, and wild-grown tomatoes. 2-Undecanone is used in the perfumery and flavoring industries, but because of its strong odor it is primarily used as an insect repellent or animal repellent. Typically, 1 2% concentrations of 2-undecanone are found in dog and cat repellents in the form of a liquid, aerosol spray, or gel.
