Description

General description

4-Heptanone is a volatile constituent of human urine.

Application

4-Heptanone was used in the quantitative analysis of 4-Heptanone in urine samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. 4-Heptanone was used to evaluate the enantioselectivity and catalytic ability of the 4-hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Heptanone is the major β-oxidation metabolite of di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (plasticizer used in plyvinyl chloride products) in humans.
