2-Pyrone (α-pyrone or pyran-2-one) is an unsaturated cyclic chemical compound with the molecular formula C5H4O2. It is isomeric with 4-pyrone.

2-Pyrone is used in organic synthesis as a building block for more complex chemical structures because it may participate in a variety of cycloaddition reactions to form bicyclic lactones. For example, it readily undergoes Diels-Alder reactions with alkynes producing, upon loss of carbon dioxide, substituted benzenes.[2] The Gogte Synthesis (1938) is a method for the alkylation of certain pyrones with acid chlorides.

Derivatives

The most common natural products containing a 2-pyrone are the bufanolides and kavalactones. Oxovitisin A, a pyranoanthocyanin found in wine, also contains a 2-pyrone element.

6-Amyl-α-pyrone (6PP) is a derivative of 2-pyrone, found in animal foods and heated beef.[3] Due to its good organoleptic properties with coconut aroma, it is used as flavor enhancer in the food industry. Biologically, it is produced by Trichoderma species via solid state fermentation.[4]
