CAS 39252-03-4

Furfuryl octanoate

Description:

Furfuryl octanoate, with the CAS number 39252-03-4, is an ester derived from furfuryl alcohol and octanoic acid. It is characterized by its pleasant, fruity odor, making it suitable for use in flavoring and fragrance applications. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Furfuryl octanoate is known for its relatively low volatility and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits stability under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. The substance is often utilized in the food industry as a flavoring agent and in cosmetic formulations due to its aromatic properties. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of polymers and other chemical intermediates. As with many esters, it is important to handle furfuryl octanoate with care, observing appropriate safety measures to mitigate any potential health risks associated with exposure.
