3566-57-2 Usage
General Description
3,4-Dihydroxy-5-Methyl-2-Furanone (DMF) is an organic compound belonging to the furanone class of chemicals, characterized by the presence of a furanone ring structure. This distinct compound is notable for its potent fragrance and flavor profile. It possesses a sweet, fruity, and strawberry-like aroma, leading to its widespread use in the flavor and fragrance industry, specifically in strawberry flavor formulations. Its potent aroma enables its utilization in relatively low concentrations. DMF is generally considered safe for consumption but, like all chemicals, it should be used responsibly and in accordance with applicable regulations and guidelines.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 3566-57-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,5,6 and 6 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3566-57:
(6*3)+(5*5)+(4*6)+(3*6)+(2*5)+(1*7)=102
102 % 10 = 2
So 3566-57-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Method for resolving racemic mixtures of 5-substituted 4-hydroxy-2-furanones
-
, (2008/06/13)
This invention affords a solution to the technical problem of obtaining one or both enantiomers of 5-substituted 4-hydroxyfuran-2-ones in pure form by resolution with enantiomerically pure bases. Racemic mixtures of 5-substituted 4-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanones, including 5-substituted and 5,5-disubstituted, 4-hydroxy and 3,4-dihydroxy furanones are separated into pure enantiomers by crystallization with an enantiomerically pure base, such as cinchonidine. In specific solvent mixtures, for example, 95% ethanol, the diastereomerically pure salt of one enantiomer crystallizes. The enantiomerically pure furanone can then be obtained simply by filtration and treatment of the salt with an acid, for example, trifluoracetic acid, followed by precipitation with water, filtration and drying. Moreover, the other enantiomer may be equally obtained in pure form by evaporation of the mother liquor, followed by the same treatment of the salt as described before.
