Applications
3-(2-Ethylbutyl)oxolan-2-one is regarded as a versatile precursor and processing aid in several industries, mainly as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and as a flavor/aroma intermediate for food formulations; as a lactone it can also serve as a solvent or building block for specialty polymers and bio-based polyesters via ring-opening polymerization; in cosmetics and personal care it may function as a fragrance component or solvent for active ingredients; and it can be used as an intermediate in coatings and inks for industrial formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
