CAS 931-23-7

2(5H)-Furanone, 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-

Description:

2(5H)-Furanone, 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-, also known by its CAS number 931-23-7, is an organic compound characterized by a furanone ring structure, which is a five-membered lactone containing both oxygen and carbon atoms. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the furanone ring, contributing to its chemical reactivity and potential biological activity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often associated with fruity or sweet notes. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents, while the furanone structure can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and oxidation. This compound is of interest in the fields of organic synthesis and flavor chemistry, as it can be used as a flavoring agent or in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors such as pH and temperature, making it a subject of study in both synthetic and natural product chemistry.
