(2E)-3-(2-Furanyl)-2-propenal, also known as furfuryl acrylaldehyde, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring and an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde functional group. It features a furan moiety, which contributes to its aromatic properties and potential reactivity. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the aldehyde group. The double bond in the propenal structure makes it susceptible to various chemical reactions, including polymerization and Michael addition, which can be exploited in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, the furan ring can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. This compound is of interest in the fields of fragrance, flavoring, and as a potential building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may be irritating to the skin and eyes.
