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

Description:

5,5-Dibutyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone, with the CAS number 7774-47-2, is an organic compound characterized by its furanone structure, which includes a five-membered lactone ring. This compound features two butyl groups attached to the 5-position of the furanone, contributing to its hydrophobic properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive sweet, fruity odor, often associated with flavoring agents in food and fragrance applications. The presence of the furanone ring imparts certain reactivity, making it susceptible to hydrolysis and other chemical transformations under specific conditions. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water reflects its non-polar characteristics. Additionally, 5,5-Dibutyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
