3-Furaldehyde Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

3-Furaldehyde is a volatile compound of honey of various floral origin. It is used to produce N-furan-3-ylmethylene-N'-pyridin-2-yl-hydrazine by reaction with 2-hydrazino-pyridine. It is also used as a solvent.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-furaldehyde is an aldehyde that is furan substituted by a formyl group at position 3. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a member of furans and an aldehyde. It derives from a hydride of a furan.

Preparation

synthesis of 3-furaldehyde: dissolve 3-furanmethanol (12.0g,0.12mol,1.0eq) in tetrahydrofuran (500ml), add manganese dioxide (156.4g,1.2mol,10.0eq), stir for 18 hours at room temperature, tlc showed that the reaction was completed. the product (9.0g crude) was obtained by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated.

General Description

3-Furancarboxaldehyde undergoes photochemical reaction with benzaldehyde to yield oxetane derivatives.
