Dibenzofuran

Dibenzofuran (CAS 132-64-9), also known as diphenylene oxide or DBF, is a polycyclic heterocyclic compound used as a reference material and chemical intermediate in flavor and fragrance development.

Its fused aromatic structure makes it a recognized building block in the synthesis of specialty aroma chemicals and functional organic compounds. In flavor and fragrance formulation, DBF serves as a synthetic intermediate.

It is used for producing targeted aroma compounds used in fine fragrance and flavor systems. Cosmetic formulators source it as a precursor in the development of specialty fragrance ingredients for personal care products.

It is also used as an analytical reference standard in quality control laboratories testing for polycyclic aromatic compounds in food and cosmetic matrices. This ensures compliance with rigorous safety protocols.

Research and specialty chemical applications include its use as a scaffold for synthesizing heterocyclic derivatives with defined sensory or functional profiles. This versatility makes it essential for modern labs.

Dibenzofuran is typically supplied as a white to off-white crystalline solid. Standard offerings include technical grade and high-purity grades suitable for research, reference standard, and synthesis applications.
