Description(S)-2-Methyl-1-butanol, also known as 2-methyl butanol-1 or 2-methylbutyl alcohol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as primary alcohols. Primary alcohols are compounds comprising the primary alcohol functional group, with the general structure RCOH (R=alkyl, aryl). Thus, (S)-2-methyl-1-butanol is considered to be a fatty alcohol (S)-2-Methyl-1-butanol exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. In yeast, (S)-2-methyl-1-butanol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the isoleucine degradation pathway. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on (S)-2-Methyl-1-butanol.
