The Uses of Furfuryl thioacetate

2-Furfurylthiol Acetate is a sulfur-substituted furan derivative used as flavouring agent. 2-Furfurylthiol Acetate is a precursor to furfurylmercaptan which is very prone to oxidation to the disulfide. We will provide a detailed procedure for the preparation of the thiol from the thioacetate with spectral data upon request.

The Uses of Furfuryl thioacetate

S-Furfuryl thioacetate (S-2-furfuryl thioacetate) has been used in lipase (from Candida rugosa) mediated synthesis of 2-furfurylthiol.
