Applications
DescriptionMethyl 2-furoate has a pleasant, fruity odor similar to mushroom, fungus or tobacco with a sweet, tart, fruity taste that is quite heavy. May be prepared from 2-furoic acid in methanol solution in the presence of HCL as catalyst (oxidation or Carmizzaro reaction).
OccurrenceReported found in cranberry, guava, baked potato, raisin, papaya, blackberry, baked potato, tomato, cognac, coffee, filbert, peanut, cocoa, passion fruit, almonds, tamarind, soursop, dried bonito, kiwifruit, mountain papaya, wild rice, okra, grape brandy and roasted hazelnut.
UsesSolvent, organic synthesis.
UsesMethyl 2-furoate (Methyl furan-2-carboxylate, Methyl pyromucate) was used to synthesize cis-fused 5-oxofuro[2,3-b]furans. It was also used in the preparation of sesquiterpene lactone.
General DescriptionMethyl 2-furoate has been identified as one of the volatile flavor compounds in tequila, okra, berrycactus and black currant juice.
