4437-51-8 Usage
Description
3,4-Hexanedione has a pungent, unpleasant odor reminiscent of
butter and a taste similar to that of diacetyl. May be prepared
synthetically by condensation of ethyl propionate in the presence
of sodium metal, followed by oxidation of the resulting propionin
with copper acetate or ferric chloride.
Chemical Properties
Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 4437-51-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. 3,4-Hexanedione has an aromatic, toasty, burnt, buttery, nutty, caramel-eggy, pungent odor.
2. clear yellow liquid
Occurrence
Reported found in cauliflower, coffee
Preparation
By condensation of ethyl propionate in the presence of sodium metal, followed by oxidation of the resulting propionin
with copper acetate or ferric chloride.
Aroma threshold values
Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: sweet buttery, creamy, slightly cooked caramel and burnt sugary reminiscent of ghee and eggy vanillas.
Taste threshold values
Taste characteristics at 5 ppm: sweet buttery, creamy, pound cake and egg caramel-like with vanilla nuances.
General Description
The dermal irritation and sensitization potential of 3,4-hexanedione (used as constituents of synthetic flavoring agent) was studied using a murine model. The 3,4-hexanedione derivatives inhibited oxoglutarate transport.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 4437-51-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,4,3 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4437-51:
(6*4)+(5*4)+(4*3)+(3*7)+(2*5)+(1*1)=88
88 % 10 = 8
So 4437-51-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Silver-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Couplings of Acids and Anhydrides: An Entry to 1,2-Diketones and Aryl-Substituted Ethanes

Silver-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative couplings of carboxylic acids and anhydrides to produce 1,2-diketones and substituted ethanes were developed. This reaction allows the generation of acyl or alkyl radicals by decarboxylation of the corresponding α-keto acids, alkyl acids and anhydrides, which are sequentially coupled to efficiently construct a new C?C bond. This reaction represents a carboxylic acid decarboxylative alternative that employs a radical termination strategy. (Figure presented.).

The reactions of isolable dialkylstannylene 1 with 1-adamantanoyl, 2,2-dimethylpropanoyl, benzoyl, and substituted benzoyl chlorides afford the corresponding acyl(chloro)stannanes in good yields. Similar reactions with more reactive acetyl and propanoyl c
