描述
2-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate, also known as 3-phenylpyruvate or 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate, belongs to phenylpyruvic acid derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a phenylpyruvic acid moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an pyruvic acid. 2-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate can be found in a number of food items such as saskatoon berry, deerberry, green zucchini, and breadnut tree seed, which makes 2-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
