Wang, Jinglan;Tian, Jing;Xing, Lili;He, Sirong;Cheng, Zhanjun;Wei, Lixia;Zhang, Yan;Cao, Chuangchuang;Yang, Jiuzhong;Yan, Beibei;Chen, Guanyi research published 《 Experimental and kinetic modeling studies of furfural pyrolysis at low and atmospheric pressures》, the research content is summarized as follows. Furfural (2-furaldehyde) is a promising platform chem. for lignocellulosic biofuels, but its thermal decomposition channels are not well understood. To better understand furfural thermal decomposition kinetics, flow tube reactor pyrolysis combined with synchrotron vacuum UV photoionization mass spectrometry at low and atm. pressures and temperatures from 929 to 1365 K was investigated. Carbon monoxide, methane, acetylene, propyne, allene, furan, and vinylketene as the main products were detected and measured. A detailed kinetic model for furfural pyrolysis consisting of 585 species and 3018 reactions was built based on the potential energy surface, and validated against the exptl. data from the current and previous studies. Rate of production anal. shows that furfural mainly underwent unimol. non-radical decomposition channel to form vinylketene and carbon monoxide. Sequential decomposition of vinylketene led to the production of allene, propyne and carbon monoxide, etc. H-atom addition reactions on the furan ring was the main source of furan. HCO, CH3 and COOCH3 groups influence the decomposition pathways of furanic fuels, and accelerate their decomposition with decomposition temperatures in the sequence of Me 2-furoate < furfural < 2,5-dimethylfuran < 2-methylfuran < furan.
611-13-2, Methyl 2-furoate has been identified as one of the volatile flavor compounds in tequila, okra, berrycactus and black currant juice.
Methyl 2-furoate, also known as fema 2703 or methyl pyromucate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as furoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of furoic acid. Methyl 2-furoate is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, methyl 2-furoate is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Methyl 2-furoate is a sweet, fruity, and fungal tasting compound that can be found in a number of food items such as cocoa and cocoa products, potato, tamarind, and fruits. This makes methyl 2-furoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Methyl 2-furoate is a reactive compound that belongs to the family of sesquiterpene lactones. It has been shown to have phosphotungstic acid and hydrochloric acid reactivity, as well as nitrous and water vapor sensitivity. Methyl 2-furoate also reacts with radiation, which can be used for structural analysis. The compound is an intermediate in the synthesis of pluronic p123, which is used in fabricating biomedical devices. Methyl 2-furoate has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties through its inhibitory effect on prostaglandin synthesis., Application In Synthesis of 611-13-2
