Description

Furfural is a five-carbon aldehyde produced by the hydrolysis of pentoses. It has been used as an industrial solvent, plasticizer, and fuel. Furfural is also used to produce butanol and biofuels. Furfural can be oxidized in the redox cycle to produce active oxygen species that are reactive with other biological molecules. Furfural is also used as an inhibitor of acetaldehyde formation in beer production. This molecule has two forms: the cis form (C3H4O) and the trans form (C3H3O). The cis form has a chemical structure of CH2=CH-CH2OH, whereas the trans form is CH=CH-CH2OH.
