Methyl cyclopentenolone is one of the flavor compounds of maple syrup, coffee oil and wood smoke. It is reported to be one the key aroma compounds in Wasanbon sugar, contributing to the maple-like flavor. Methyl cyclopentenolone is also one of the major volatile compound formed during the thermal degradation of glucose.

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives . This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application

This material is found primarily as the enol form (CAS 80-71-7) in its pure, anhydrous state. Readily forms the diketone form (CAS 765-70-8) in solution.
