• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 5-Acetoxymethyl-2-furaldehyde is a furanic acid that is found in the plant Triticum aestivum. This compound has been shown to have antifungal and anticancer properties. 5-Acetoxymethyl-2-furaldehyde inhibits the growth of bacteria by forming a complex with p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which prevents the formation of amines. The toxicity of this compound may also be due to its ability to cause DNA damage, leading to cell death. 5-Acetoxymethyl-2-furaldehyde can be used as an oxidation catalyst for reactions involving amines. It can also be produced by oxidizing 2,5 furanone with hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid at high temperatures. The reaction mechanism is not well understood but it is believed that 5 acetoxymethyl - 2 furaldehyde is formed from the dehydration of furfuraldehyde.
