The chemical substance known as (2,2-Dimethyl-5-oxo-tetrahydro-furan-3-yl)-acetic acid, with the CAS number 116-51-8, is characterized by its unique molecular structure, which includes a tetrahydrofuran ring and an acetic acid functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both cyclic and acyclic structures, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the specific conditions, and is soluble in polar solvents. The presence of the acetic acid moiety suggests that it can participate in acid-base reactions, while the tetrahydrofuran ring may influence its stability and interaction with other chemical species. This compound is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

<p>Applications rac-Terpenylic Acid is a natural product. It can be obtained from Vinylacetic Acid (V424000) which can be used as a reagent in the synthesis of 4-Phenyl-3-butenoic Acid which is an in vivo inhibitor of the peptide amidating enzyme peptidylglycine hydroxylase. rac-Terpenylic Acid can be used as reagent/reactant for preparation of γ-lactone-conting pyrazole, pyrazolinones, oxadiazole, and triazoles from oxohydrofuranacetic hydrazide.<br>References Bradbury, A.F., et al.: Eur.
