 |  | 2-Ethylfuran Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | clear colorless to yellow liquid |  | Chemical Properties | 2-Ethylfuran has a smoky burnt odor. When dilute, it has a warm, sweet odor. It has a coffee-like flavor (aroma). |  | Occurrence | Reported found in tomato, coffee, peppermint and spearmint oil, Parmesan cheese, bell pepper, cooked egg,
smoked fish, roasted chicken, cooked beef, cocoa, coffee, tea, pecans, filberts and soybeans. |  | Uses | 2-Ethylfuran was used to investigate the gas phase products formed from the Cl atoms initiated reactions of 2-ethylfuran by in situ long-path FTIR absorption spectroscopy. It was also used in the synthesis of 4-oxo-(E)-2-hexenal via ring opening reaction using aqueous N-bromosuccinimide. |  | Definition | ChEBI: 2-ethylfuran is a member of the class of furans that is furan in which the hydrogen atom at position 2 has been replaced by an ethyl group. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a fragrance, a Maillard reaction product and a bacterial metabolite. It is a member of furans and a volatile organic compound. It is functionally related to a furan. |  | Preparation | By dehydration of furyl methyl carbinol followed by reduction. |  | General Description | 2-Ethylfuran undergoes tetraphenylporphin-photosensitized oxygenation in non-polar aprotic solvents via (4+2)-cycloaddition of singlet oxygen to yield the corresponding monomeric unsaturated secondary ozonide. |  | Hazard | Flammable liquid. |
