What is Furan?

Description

Furan occurs naturally in oils distilled from rosin containing pinewood. In addition, many natural foods contain the furan ring structure and substituted furans may be formed through cooking of simple carbohydrates. Furan is also found in tobacco smoke as well as wood smoke and gas emissions from gasoline and diesel engines. Furan has also been detected in industrial effluents and can be emitted to the air from petroleum refineries and coal-mining and gasification plants.

The Uses of Furan

Furan is a valuable chemical intermediate for pharmaceuticals, insecticides, and other organic compounds. The furan ring is cleaved by aqueous acid which can lead to polymer formation.
