Furfural is an organic compound that is obtained from various agricultural byproducts such as corncobs, oat, wheat bran, and sawdust. Furfural was first isolated by the German scientist in 1840 as a byproduct of formic acid synthesis.
Furfural is a class of hetrocyclic aromatic compounds characterized by five membered ring structure with a chemical formula of C5H4O2. Furfural is an organic compound that is obtained from various agricultural byproducts such as corncobs, oat, wheat bran, and sawdust. Furfural was first isolated by the German scientist in 1840 as a byproduct of formic acid synthesis. Furfural could be produced by distilling a wide variety of crop materials, including corn, oats, bran, and sawdust with aqueous sulfuric acid.
Furfural is a clear, volatile and mild toxic liquid.
Furfural is a colorless oily liquid and its readily soluble in most of the organic solvents.
Furfural is not a stable compound like benzene.
At higher temperature, Furfural decomposes into Furan and carbon monoxide, that leads to an explosive reaction.

Furfuryl alcohol is an important organic chemical raw material. It’s mainly used for the producing furan resin, furfuryl alcohol - urine aldehyde resin, phenolic resin. This kind of resin is widely used in foundry industry in modeling and core-molding. Furfuryl alcohol can also be used for anticorrosive resin, pharmaceutical raw materials, tartaric acid, plasticizer, solvents and rocket fuel, etc.
