Ethyl 2-furoate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless to light yellow liqui

Uses

Ethyl 2-furoate has been suggested for use in flavor compositions, mainly in berry flavor imitations, Grape, Wine, etc. However, this material is NOTincluded in the G. R.A.S. list of the U.S. Federal Register.

Production Methods

Ethyl 2-furoate is produced from Furfural by oxidation to 2-Furoic acid, followed by esterification.

Definition
