2,3-Hexanedione Usage And Synthesis
Description2,3-Hexanedione has a powerful, creamy, sweet, and buttery odor (less than diacetyl) and a buttery, cheese taste. It may be synthesized from propionyl aldehyde condensed over ethyl acetylacetate;the resulting product is then oxidized (H2O2 and sodium tungstate), hydrolyzed, and finally decarboxylated to 2,3-hexanedione; from methyl butyl ketone and ethyl propyl ketone by way of the monoxime; also from acetoxy mesityl oxide.
Chemical Properties2,3-Hexanedione has a powerful, creamy, sweet and buttery odor (less than diacetyl) and a buttery cheese taste.
Chemical Propertiesyellow liquid
OccurrenceReported found in fermented soybean, peach, roasted chicken, beer, coffee, shoyu and clam.
Uses2,3-Hexanedione is used to evaluate the influence of xanthan concentration on the release of aroma compounds in xanthan-thickened food model systems. It reacts with ethylenediamine to yield macrocyclic tetradentate 12-membered nitrogen donor (N4) ligand.
Uses2,3-Hexanedione was used to evaluate the influence of xanthan concentration on the release of aroma compounds in xanthan-thickened food model systems.
DefinitionChEBI: An alpha-diketone that is hexane substituted by oxo groups at positions 2 and 3 respectively.
PreparationFrom propionyl aldehyde condensed over ethyl acetylacetate; the resulting product is then oxidized (H2O2 and sodium tungstate), hydrolyzed and finally decarboxylated to 2,3-dexanedione; from methyl butyl ketone and ethyl propyl ketone by way of the monoxime; also from acetoxy mesityl oxide
Taste threshold valuesTaste characteristics at 50 ppm: creamy, fruity, toasted brown, caramellic notes.
General DescriptionYellow liquid. Sharp penetrating odor in high concentrations. Sweet, aromatic odor when diluted.
Air & Water ReactionsHighly flammable. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile2,3-HEXANEDIONE is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong bases.
Fire Hazard2,3-HEXANEDIONE is flammable.
