  • Applications

    2,5-Dimethyl-2,3-dihydrofuran (CAS 17108-52-0) is typically used as a chemical intermediate and fragrance-related ingredient. In perfumery, it can serve as an odorant or fragrance raw material, contributing to fruity or floral notes depending on the formulation. As a chemical intermediate, it is used in organic synthesis to build more complex heterocycles and related compounds. In industrial manufacturing, it may function as a solvent or processing aid in specialty formulations, and in coatings and inks as a reactive intermediate or additive to adjust compatibility and drying behavior. In cosmetics and personal care, it can be used as a fragrance ingredient within formulations subject to regulatory limits. All uses are subject to local regulations and formulation constraints.
