Product Information

• Name: 5-Ethoxy-2(5H)-furanone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Ethoxy-2(5H)-furanone is an oxidation product of 5-ethoxy-2(5H)-furanone. It has an isomeric, stereospecific, regiospecifically, and a tautomeric relationship with furfural. 5-Ethoxy-2(5H)-furanone can be produced by the oxidation of furfural with boron trifluoride etherate in the presence of iodosobenzene. The reaction mechanism involves the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the boron trifluoride etherate to form hydroperoxydiborane. This compound then reacts with iodosobenzene to produce 5-ethoxy-2(5H)-furanone and 2,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. The reaction produces a mixture of diastereomers that contain different numbers of carbon atoms due to the regiospecific
