Identification
Common Name2-Dodecanone
ClassSmall Molecule
Description2-Dodecanone, also known as dodecan-2-one or dodecanone-(2) is a 12-carbon long-chain aliphatic molecule that 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. 2-Dodecanone is also considered to be a long-chain methyl ketone. 2-Dodecanone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. It has a low melting point of just 19 oC. 2-Dodecanone has a citrus, floral, or fruity aroma which is contrasted with a fatty taste. 2-Dodecanone has been found in the volatile components of human feces (PMID: 21970810) and saliva (PMID: 24421258). It has also been linked celiac disease in children (PMID: 21970810). Outside of the human body, 2-dodecanone has been found at levels of up to 1.8 mg/kg in blue cheese, milk and cocoa and up to 2700 mg/kg in hop oil (Humulus lupulus). It has also been detected, but not quantified in, several other oils, such as laurel leaf oil, rue oil (Ruta graveolens) and tomato leaves and trichomes (PMID: 11757742). This could make 2-dodecanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2-Dodecanone is a natural insecticide and exhibits strong insecticidal properties to several insect species including Tribolium castaneum (LD50 = 5.21 ug/adult), Lasioderma serricorne (LD50 = 2.54 ug/adult) and Liposcelis bostrychophila (LD50 = 23.41 ug/cm2) in contact assays (PMID: 31240663).
