Enones are compounds containing the enone functional group, with the structure RC(=O)CR'. Thus, methyl propenyl ketone is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. Methyl propenyl ketone is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Methyl propenyl ketone, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and ulcerative colitis. Methyl propenyl ketone has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Methyl propenyl ketone is occasionally found as a volatile component of normal human biofluids. It is found as a volatile in the hawthorn fruit upon ripening, and also is part of the scent components of the urine of some animals. Methyl propenyl ketone is a volatile organic compound.
