Description

Dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-2,3-furandione is an organic compound that belongs to a class of molecules called cinchona alkaloids. It is used as a substrate for the study of enzyme reactions in the laboratory and as a model system for studying other molecules that are similar in structure. Dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-2,3-furandione has shown to be an effective inhibitor of acid formation from cinchonidine, which is a natural product derived from the bark of Cinchona species. The molecule also has asymmetric synthesis capabilities and can produce lactones with one or two ester groups.
