Description

General description

2,3-Hexanedione is a major component of the male-produced aggregation pheromone of Anelaphus inflaticollis Chemsak. It reacts with ethylenediamine to yield macrocyclic tetradentate 12-membered nitrogen donor (N₄) ligand.

Application

2,3-Hexanedione was used to evaluate the influence of xanthan concentration on the release of aroma compounds in xanthan-thickened food model systems.
