Common Name3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone
Description3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone, also known as sotolon or 2-hydroxy-3,4-dimethyl-2-buten-1,4-olide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as butenolides. These are dihydrofurans with a carbonyl group at the C2 carbon atom. 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone is a strong, extremely sweet, and burnt tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as coffee and coffee products, herbs and spices, fenugreeks, alcoholic beverages, and blackberries. This could make 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone is found in Mallotus peltatus. 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone was first documented in 1999 (PMID: 10234605). 3-Hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder maple syrup urine disease.
