3188-00-9 Usage
Description
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran-3-one has a bread, buttery topnote. May be
prepared by hydrolytic decarboxylation of 2-methyl-4-carbomethoxytetrahydrofuran-
3-one; by acid-catalyzed ring closure of p-alkoxy-
diazoketones.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 3188-00-9 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 3,1,8 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 3188-00:
(6*3)+(5*1)+(4*8)+(3*8)+(2*0)+(1*0)=79
79 % 10 = 9
So 3188-00-9 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

A short and efficient synthesis of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran-3-one
Ragoussis, Valentine,Lagouvardos, Dimitrios J.,Ragoussis, Nikitas
, p. 4273 - 4278 (1998)
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran-3-one (3), a volatile constituent of the aroma complex of roasted coffee, is efficiently prepared in satisfactory yield (55,2%) by oxidative hydroxylation of the 2-acetylbutyrolactone (4).
Thermal decomposition of ascorbic acid
Vernin, Gaston,Chakib, Soundouss,Rogacheva, Sonia M.,Obretenov, Tzvetan D.,Parkanyi, Cyril
, p. 1 - 15 (2007/10/03)
Thermal degradation of L-ascorbic acid at 300 °C in the absence of a solvent yielded mostly furan derivatives and α,β-unsaturated cyclic ketones with a five-membered ring. Some of the furan derivatives are the same as those obtained in the Maillard reaction, with the reductones undergoing retroaldol reaction, decarboxylation, oxidation, and hydrolysis. In propylene glycol, under milder conditions (180 °C), the carbonyl and dicarbonyl derivatives resulting from the decomposition react with the solvent and give cyclic acetals and ketals (1,3-dioxolanes). The products were identified by GC-MS using the SPECMA data bank.
