Understanding the precise chemical profile of an intermediate is fundamental for its successful application in synthesis. 2-Acetylbutyrolactone (CAS 517-23-7) is an organic compound characterized by its colorless liquid appearance and a molecular formula of C6H8O3, with a molecular weight of 128.13 g/mol. This compound is also recognized by several synonyms, including α-Acetylbutyrolactone, 2-Acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, and 3-acetyldihydro-2(3H)-furanone, which are often encountered in scientific literature and product catalogs.
Key specifications for 2-Acetylbutyrolactone typically include a high purity level, often stated as 97% or 99% minimum, essential for its use in demanding applications like pharmaceutical and agrochemical production. Physical properties such as density (around 1.19 g/mL at 25°C) and boiling point (approximately 107-108°C at 5 mmHg) are also critical parameters for handling and reaction planning. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water further define its chemical behavior.
