| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Colorless liquid. Soluble in water, alcohol,
ether, and chloroform. Combustible. | [Chemical Properties]
Tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate has a faint, fruity, ethereal odor, somewhat similar to acetic acid (reminiscent of methyl formate). It has a sweet, ethereal, deep, fruit-like flavor. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate is a member of oxolanes. | [Preparation]
By acetylation of the corresponding alcohol with acetic anhydride, acetyl chloride, or acetic acid and mineral acids. | [Taste threshold values]
Taste characteristics at 100 ppm: sweet, brown, caramel-like with nutty, rummy nuances. | [Acquired resistance]
Mild, fruity, Acetone-ethereal odor of moderate to poor tenacity. Sweet, ethereal and deep-fruity taste at below 40 ppm.
| [General Description]
The radical-chain racemisation of (R)-tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate has been studied. | [Synthesis]
Tetrahydrofurfuryl Acetate is synthesized by azeotropic esterification of Tetra-hydrofurfuryl alcohol with Acetic acid.
| [Solubility in organics]
Miscible with alcohol and oils.
