Description and Uses

2-Furoic acid is an organic compound, consisting of a furan ring and a carboxylic acid side-group. Along with other furans, its name is derived from the Latin word furfur, meaning bran, from which these compounds were first produced. The salts and esters of furoic acids are known as furoates. 2-Furoic acid is most widely encountered in food products as a preservative and a flavouring agent, where it imparts a sweet, earthy flavour.

2-Furoic acid is an heterocyclic carboxylic acid that is widely used in food products as a preservative and flavouring agent. It is also used in the synthesis of methylfuran, furoamide and furoic acid esters and salts. In the plastics industry, it can be used as plasticizer, thermosetting resin, etc. substitute for chloropicrin in disinfecting grain elevators.
