(Z)-2-methylureidoacrylate peracid
Definition
(z)-2-methyl-ureidoacrylate peracid, also known as (Z)-2-methylureidoperacrylic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as peroxycarboxylic acids. Peroxycarboxylic acids are organic acids with the general formula [H]OOC(R)=O (R = H, organyl group) (z)-2-methyl-ureidoacrylate peracid is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (z)-2-methyl-ureidoacrylate peracid can be found in a number of food items such as pepper (spice), narrowleaf cattail, sweet rowanberry, and european plum, which makes (z)-2-methyl-ureidoacrylate peracid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products (z)-2-methyl-ureidoacrylate peracid may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as peroxycarboxylic acids. These are organic acids with the general formula [H]OOC(R)=O (R = H, organyl group).
