Description

2-Methyl-5-oxocyclopent-1-en-1-yl butyrate is a furan that has been shown to have a sweet taste. It is also used as an additive and modifier in food products. 2-Methyl-5-oxocyclopent-1-en-1-yl butyrate is produced by the reaction of cyclopentanone with diallyl disulfide, which provides the structural formula for this compound. Diallyl disulfide is an organic compound that has been shown to be effective in reducing the formation of tumours in mice. Disulfide bonds are found in proteins and other biomolecules, and play an important role in protein folding and stability. The presence of these bonds can alter the descriptors of a molecule's shape, as well as modulate its reactivity. Disulfides are also found in natural substances such as amino acids and vitamins, which may contribute to their biological
