Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Hexanone
Description3-Hexanone, also known as 3-oxohexane or hexan-3-one, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ketones. These are organic compounds in which a carbonyl group is bonded to two carbon atoms R2C=O (neither R may be a hydrogen atom). Ketones that have one or more alpha-hydrogen atoms undergo keto-enol tautomerization, the tautomer being an enol. Thus, 3-hexanone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon. 3-Hexanone, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and autism; 3-hexanone has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 3-Hexanone.
