In chemistry, 3,3,4,4-tetramethyltetrahydrofuran-2,5-dione is a heterocyclic compound with the formula C
8H
12O
3, or (CH3)2(COC2COO)(CH3)2. It is a white crystalline solid with a pungent camphoraceous odor.[1]

The compound is also called 3,3,4,4-tetramethyloxolane-2,5-dione (its IUPAC name) or 3,3,4,4-tetramethylsuccinic anhydride,[2] namely the anhydride of 2,2,3,3-tetramethylsuccinic acid, and sometimes abbreviated as TMSA.[3] It can be seen as derivative of tetrahydrofuran-2,5-dione (oxolane-2,5-dione) with two methyl groups replacing two hydrogen atoms on each of the carbon atoms in the ring that are not adjacent to the ring oxygen.[2]

Synthesis and chemistry[edit]

The compound is soluble in petroleum ether.[1][4]

The compound was described in 1890 by Karl von Auwers and Victor Meyer who obtained it by thermal decomposition of 2,2,3,3-tetramethylsuccinic acid.[1][5] It can also be obtained, in > 50% yield, from 3,3,4,4-tetramethylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione[4] Other synthesis routes include
