• Synonyms: 2-Furanpropanoic acid, 2-Furanpropionic acid, 3-(2-Furyl)Propanoic Acid, 3-(Furan-2-yl)propanoic acid, 3-Furan-2-Ylpropanoate, 3-Furan-2-ylpropionic acid, β-(2-Furyl)propionic acid

Description

3-(2-Furyl)propionic acid is a metabolite of furfural that can be found in the urine at physiological levels. 3-(2-Furyl)propionic acid is formed by the reaction of furfural with acetyl CoA, and it is excreted through the kidneys. This compound has been shown to be a marker for hydroxide solution exposure and cellulose triacetate degradation. 3-(2-Furyl)propionic acid can also be used as an indicator for monitoring membrane integrity, as this compound will react with hippuric acid to form 3-(3-hydroxypropyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid, which can then be quantified using high performance liquid chromatography.
