DIACETYL 99% For Synthesis - 250 ml

Description

Diacetyl by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 2,3-butanedione, this is a vicinal diketone. The reagent is available as a yellowish-green liquid which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 2 to 4 C and a boiling point of 88 C. Industrially, diacetyl can be generated by the dehydrogenation of 2,3-butanediol. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 431-03-8 Quantity Provided: 100 ml per bottle Molecular formula: C4H6O2 Molecular weight: 86.09 Assay: 99 %Diacetyl has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Diacetyl is a component of artificial butter flavouring, margarines or similar oil-based products for its butter-like taste. It is additionally used in alcoholic beverages to improve the mouth feel. It is also a strong inhibitor of the CO2-sensitive neurons in the Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly. This reagent is suitable for the industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
