Furfuryl thiopropionate is an ester compound that is used as a surfactant in the chemical industry. It is also a functional group on the propionyl chain. Furfuryl thiopropionate has an ionisation mass of 106.09, and its chemical structure can be described as C3H6O2S2. This compound has two acidic groups and one mercapto group, which makes it a weak acid with an acidic pH. Furfuryl thiopropionate has been shown to be a substrate for metabolic reactions in mammals, including humans. Furfuryl thiopropionate is metabolized by oxidation of the sulfur atom to sulfoxide or sulfone compounds or by hydrolysis of the ester bond to release propionic acid and formic acid. Furfuryl thiopropionate reacts with sodium carbonate to produce sodium sulfite and formaldehyde at an optimal reaction temperature of 100°
