Application

Diethyl-2-butenedioate primarily serves as an important intermediate in organic synthesis. This colorless liquid, with a boiling point of 225°C, is known for its role in cycloaddition reactions, particularly as a dienophile in Diels-Alder-type reactions. While it is insoluble in water, it readily dissolves in ethanol and ether. Although its fruity, banana-citrus aroma makes it distinct, regulatory restrictions in places like the EU have limited its use in fragrances due to potential sensitization. Beyond its synthetic applications, Diethyl-2-butenedioate has been studied for its biological activity, notably its ability to modulate glutathione levels and affect cancer-related pathways, making it a compound of interest in biochemical research.
