What are the applications of Application

2,5-Diethyltetrahydrofuran finds use almost exclusively in the reconstruction of certain essential oils, used in flavor compositions, particularly members of the Mint family. Due to the very high vapor pressure (at room temperature) of this material, it will probably not find any use in perfume compositions, except as a component of certain artificial essential oils or bases, entering the perfume as minor base-components (“subcompounds”).
