Furan CAS 110-00-9 (Stabilized with BHT) Purity >99.0% (GC)

Furan (Stabilized with BHT) (CAS: 110-00-9) is an important raw material in organic synthesis industry and can be used in the manufacture of many kinds of industrial chemical products.
Furan is unstable and prone to be subject to oxidation and polymerization. Furan, via catalytic hydrogenation, can generate tetrahydrofuran. Many furan derivatives are drugs.
Furan can be used as the raw material of organic synthesis and solvents. Furan can also be used for preparation of pyrrole, thiophene and tetrahydrofuran. Tetrahydrofuran is an important derivative of furan with many important applications.
Because of its conjugated unsaturation and heterocyclic atom, furan will undergo many types of reactions. It is, therefore, of interest as a chemical intermediate for pharmaceuticals, insecticides and fine chemicals. The heterocyclic oxygen atom in a ring with conjugated unsaturation gives furan a combination of ether, aromatic and olefinic characteristics. This polyfunctionality permits it to undergo a variety of reactions. Compared to benzene, the furan ring has greater reactivity, and is more susceptible to cleavage, thus resembling the vinyl ethers. Like the vinyl ethers, the furan ring is cleaved by aqueous acids. This reaction is accompanied by resinification .
Furan is a five-membered heterocyclic aromatic ring. Furan is used as a building block for the preparation of many heterocyclic compounds.
