Introduction
Furoyl acetate, also commonly known as acetylsalicylate, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of furfuryl acetate:
Quality:
Furfuryl acetate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a special aroma. It is soluble in a variety of organic solvents, such as alcohols and ethers, at room temperature.
Uses: It has an aromatic fruit flavor and is often used in flavorings and spices to increase the aroma and taste of the product. Furfur acetate can also be used in industrial applications such as coatings, plastics and rubber.
Method:
Furfur acetate is generally prepared by esterification reaction, the specific operation is to react furfuric acid with acetic anhydride, add esterification catalysts such as sulfuric acid or ammonium formate, and react at a certain temperature and time. At the end of the reaction, impurities are removed by dehydration and distillation to obtain pure furfuryl acetate.
Safety Information:
Furfuryl acetate has low toxicity, but long-term inhalation may have adverse health effects. Furfur acetate is a flammable liquid and should be kept away from open flames and high temperature sources, and stored in a cool, ventilated place. Pay attention to protective measures during use, such as wearing protective glasses, protective gloves and protective clothing.
