2,5-Dimethyl-3(2H)furanone

Description:
2,5-Dimethyl-3(2H)furanone, also known as DMF, is an organic compound characterized by its furanone structure, which includes a five-membered lactone ring. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity aroma, often associated with flavors reminiscent of caramel or butterscotch. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water. DMF is primarily used in the food and fragrance industries as a flavoring agent due to its pleasant scent and taste profile. Additionally, it has applications in the synthesis of various chemical compounds and can serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound is stable under normal conditions but may undergo reactions typical of carbonyl compounds, such as nucleophilic addition. Safety data indicates that while it is generally recognized as safe in food applications, appropriate handling precautions should be observed to avoid potential irritation or adverse effects.
