2,3-Butanedione is used to form triazine and pteridine ring systems by cyclocondensation with amines. It is also used to inactivate aminopeptidase-N and acts as a precursor to alpha-diones. It finds use in alcoholic beverages, foods, to modify arginyl residues in proteins and to give a buttery flavor to microwave popcorns.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
