Diacetyl (/ d aɪ j ə ˈ s iː t ə l / dy-yuh-SEE-tuhl; IUPAC systematic name: butanedione or butane-2,3-dione) is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 CO) 2. It is a yellow liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a vicinal diketone (two C=O groups, side-by-side).
It is a precursor to many fine chemicals. A prominent industrial example is the crossed aldol condensation with diethyl ketone to give trimethylcyclohexenone, this can be easily converted to trimethylhydroquinone, which is a precursor to the vitamin E. [8] Other derivatives include crotonic acid, 3-methoxybutanol and the food preservative ...
3,3’,4,4’-Benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) is chemically, an aromatic organic acid dianhydride. It may be used to cure epoxy-based powder coatings. It has the CAS Registry Number of 2421-28-5 and a European Community number 219-348-1. It is REACH and TSCA registered. The formula is C 17 H 6 O 7 with a molecular weight of 322. ...
Generic structure of acetals. In organic chemistry, an acetal is a functional group with the connectivity R 2 C(OR') 2. Here, the R groups can be organic fragments (a carbon atom, with arbitrary other atoms attached to that) or hydrogen, while the R' groups must be organic fragments not hydrogen. The two R' groups can be equivalent to each ...
1,1-Diethoxyethane (acetaldehyde diethyl acetal) is a major flavoring component of distilled beverages, especially malt whisky [3] and sherry. [4] Although it is just one of many compounds containing an acetal functional group, this specific chemical is sometimes called simply acetal .
Acetone (2-propanone or dimethyl ketone) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 CO. [22] It is the simplest and smallest ketone ( >C=O ). It is a colorless, highly volatile , and flammable liquid with a characteristic pungent odour, very reminiscent of the smell of pear drops .
The diketene acetal 3,9-diethylidene-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane, DETOSU, is a reactive bifunctional monomer that forms biodegradable polyorthoesters by polyaddition with α,ω-diols. Polyorthoesters are used as embedding media for pharmaceuticals in extended release formulations for controlled drug release by surface erosion under ...
Acetylenedicarboxylic acid or butynedioic acid is an organic compound (a dicarboxylic acid) with the formula H 2 C 4 O 4 or HO−C(=O)−C≡C−C(=O)−OH.It is a crystalline solid that is soluble in diethyl ether.
