5-[(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)methyl]oxolan-2-one（Cat No.:M005556） is a chemical compound combining a dihydroxyphenyl structure with a heterocyclic oxolane ring. The 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl group, structurally similar to catechol, contributes antioxidant properties due to its phenolic hydroxyl groups, which are effective at scavenging free radicals. The oxolane (tetrahydrofuran) ring with a lactone linkage (oxolan-2-one) introduces cyclic ester functionality, impacting the compound’s reactivity and solubility. This compound is of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research, potentially useful in developing therapeutics that leverage its antioxidant capacity and the chemical reactivity of the lactone for targeted drug delivery mechanisms.
