ETHYL FURYL GLYCIDATE

Chemical Properties

Ethyl furyl glycidate is a colorless to pale straw-colored, slightly viscous liquid. Almost insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.

Uses

Ethyl furyl glycidate could find some use in flavor compositions as a modifier for Ethyl phcnyl glycidate, which is somewhat more floral-fruity, but there has not been much interest in the subject ester.

Preparation

Ethyl furyl glycidate is produced from Furfural and Ethyl monochloro acetate by condensation using a catalyst.
