Methyl 2-furoate Usage And Synthesis

Description	Methyl 2-furoate has a pleasant, fruity odor similar to mushroom, fungus or tobacco with a sweet, tart, fruity taste that is quite heavy. May be prepared from 2-furoic acid in methanol solution in the presence of HCL as catalyst (oxidation or Carmizzaro reaction).
Chemical Properties	Methyl furoate has a pleasant, fruity odor similar to mushroom, fungus or tobacco with a sweet, tart, fruity taste that is quite heavy
Chemical Properties	Colorless to light yellow liqui
Occurrence	Reported found in cranberry, guava, baked potato, raisin, papaya, blackberry, baked potato, tomato, cognac, coffee, filbert, peanut, cocoa, passion fruit, almonds, tamarind, soursop, dried bonito, kiwifruit, mountain papaya, wild rice, okra, grape brandy and roasted hazelnut.
Uses	Methyl 2-furoate (Methyl furan-2-carboxylate, Methyl pyromucate) was used to synthesize cis-fused 5-oxofuro[2,3-b]furans. It was also used in the preparation of sesquiterpene lactone.
Uses	Solvent, organic synthesis.
Definition	ChEBI: Methyl 2-Furancarboxylate is a carboxylic ester. It is functionally related to a 2-furoic acid.
Preparation	From 2-furoic acid in methanol solution in the presence of HCl as catalyst (oxidation or Carmizzaro reaction)
Aroma threshold values	Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: musty, sweet caramel, fruity, cocoa, bready and slightly rubbery.
Taste threshold values	Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: brothy, yeasty, caramellic and burnt with a sweet bready, acetoin, buttery nuance
