CAS 13494-06-9: 3,4-Dimethyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione

3,4-Dimethyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione is a hydroxypropyl cellulose that can be used as a sample preparation agent in the analysis of cyclic compounds. It is also used in the production of emulsions and as an additive to resins. 3,4-Dimethyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione has been postulated to be an intermediate in the synthesis of maltol from acetone and propylene glycol. The diols form a mixture of isomers. The mixture contains mainly 3,4-dimethyl-1,2-cyclohexanedione with minor amounts of 2,3-, 4-, and 5-,6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11-, 12-, 13-, 14-, 15-, 16-. 3,4-Dimethyl-1,2-cyclopentanedione has been detected as a component in tobacco smoke. This component has been monitored for its profile and levels by gas
