Product Details

Ethyl maltol CAS#4940-11-8

It forms white crystals (mp 90–91°C) with very sweet caramel-like odor, four to six times more potent than maltol. Several syntheses have been developed for its preparation. In a one-pot process, for example, ??-ethylfurfuryl alcohol is treated with halogen to give 4-halo- 6-hydroxy-2-ethyl-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one, which need not be isolated and can be converted to ethylmaltol by aqueous hydrolysisEthyl maltol has a very sweet, fruit-like odor of immense tenacity and sweet, fruity taste with initial bitter-tart flavor; rapid loss of flavor per se. It is four to six times more potent than maltol.
