Furans furfuryl esters

Alkylfurans, halofurans, alkoxyfurans, furfuryl ester and ethers, and furfural diacetate [613-75-2] behave similarly. Furans containing electron withdrawing constituents, for example, furfural, 2-furoic acid, and nitrofurans, fail as dienes even with very strong dienophiles. 

The furfuryl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acid polymerize via a free-radical mechanism without apparent retardation problems arising from the presence of the furan ring. Early reports on these systems described hard insoluble polymers formed in bulk polymerizations and the cross-linking ability of as little as 2% of furfuryl acrylate in the solution polymerization of methylacrylate121. ...

Finally, addition polymerization of suitably substituted furans allows incorporation of the furan nucleus into heterocyclic polymers (77MH1102). 2-Vinylfuran apparently exhibits free radical polymerizability comparable with that of styrene, although rates, yields and degrees of polymerization are low under all conditions except for emulsion polymerization. Cationic polymerization is quite facile and leads not only to the poly(vinylfuran) structure (59), as found in free radically produced polymers, but also to structures such as (60) and (61) in which the furan nucleus has become involved. Furfuryl acrylate and methacrylate undergo free radical polymerization in the manner characteristic of other acrylic esters. 

Whereas 2-hydroxymethylthiophene reacts normally with hydrogen halides to give 2-halomethylthiophenes, reaction of 2-hydroxymethylfuran (furfuryl alcohol) with hydrochloric acid results in formation of levulinic acid 391 via the SN intermediate 390. The conversion of 3-(furan-2-yl)acrylic acid 392 into an ester of -oxopimelic acid 393 by ethanolic hydrochloric acid is a related reaction involving an analogous intermediate. 

There are several studies investigating the flavor composition of smoked products that gives the products their characteristic flavors. The main components responsible for the smoke flavor are phenol derivatives. In addition to the flavoring compounds arising from wood pyrolysis, flavoring compounds derived from plants are also present. The soluble fraction mostly contains fatty adds and fatty esters, in addition to acids, alcohols, carbonyls, esters, furans, lactones, furans, and many miscellaneous compounds [108]. The phenolic fraction of traditional kiln-smoked Bacon contains phenols, furfuryl alcohol, and cyclotene while different compounds, such as 2,4,5-trimethyl-3(2//)-furanone, have been isolated from cooked Oscar Mayer bacon [109],...
