Application
2,4-Dimethyl-4-phenyltetrahydrofuran (CAS 82461-14-1), also known commercially as Rhubafuran, is a synthetic flavor and fragrance compound with an intense, fresh, green, tangy rhubarb character complemented by floral, herbal, eucalyptus, and citrusy undertones. Its powerful diffusion, medium odor strength, and excellent stability across all pH ranges make it highly suitable for demanding formulations. In the fragrance industry, it is widely used as a top note in fine perfumery, colognes, soaps, shampoos, laundry detergents, and household products, particularly in fruity and citrus accords. It performs exceptionally well in air fresheners, functional fragrances, and scented candles. In the flavor industry, it is permitted as a synthetic flavoring substance in food and beverages, notably to enhance rhubarb, berry, and tropical fruit profiles in candies, chewing gum, dairy products, and soft drinks. Additionally, it is employed in odor-masking formulations to cover unpleasant malodors in industrial and consumer products.
