Product Application of Furan CAS#110-00-9
This chemical compound is widely utilized as binding material for mass production of hot box process casting cores.
It acts as a fundamental raw material in organic synthesis processes and also serves as an effective industrial solvent. Common downstream synthesized products include pyrrole, thiophene and tetrahydrofuran, among which tetrahydrofuran stands as a vital furan derivative with extensive industrial usage.
Through etherification and reduction reactions, furan can be converted into 2,5-dimethoxydihydrofuran, which undergoes further hydrolysis to generate 2-hydroxy-1,4-butanedial for the manufacturing of anisodamine pharmaceutical products.
Moreover, furan can be processed into 2,5-dimethoxytetrahydrofuran via etherification and reduction treatment. After hydrolysis, this intermediate turns into butanedial, a key raw material for the synthesis of atropine alkaloid.
Additionally, furan is adopted in the production of anti inflammatory medicine toluoylpyrrole sodium acetate. The production consumption ratio reaches around 4.75 tons of furan per ton of finished medical products.
