Description

Furan, 2,5-Dimethyl-3-(Methyldithio)- CAS NO 61197-06-6 is a specialized sulfur-containing heterocyclic compound belonging to the furan family. This chemical serves as a valuable intermediate and flavor/fragrance precursor due to its unique organoleptic properties and reactive dithio moiety. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, agrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries for the synthesis of complex molecules. Its distinct structure makes it a key building block for creating savory, meaty, or roasted flavor notes and for developing novel active ingredients.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: A key intermediate for synthesizing savory, meaty, roasted, and sulfurous flavor compounds used in processed foods, snacks, and savory applications.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile building block in the research and production of novel pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the development and manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring sulfur heterocycles.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A valuable reagent for academic and industrial R&D in organic chemistry, especially for constructing complex heterocyclic systems.
• Specialty Chemicals: Employed in the production of specialty polymers, ligands for catalysis, and other high-value fine chemicals.
