Description

5-Ethyl-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3(2H)-furanone is a colorless liquid that has a fruity, sweet odor. It is used in the manufacture of flavors and fragrances. 5-Ethyl-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3(2H)-furanone can be obtained by the reaction of butanedione with dilute sulfuric acid, followed by treatment with an absorber containing propylene glycol and 4-ethyl-2methoxyphenol. The product is then treated with radiation energy to produce furfural, which reacts with anthranilate to form methyl anthranilate. Methyl anthranilate can be converted into phenylmethyl by reacting it with glycosidase.
