3-Furoic acid (CAS: 619-72-1) is a heterocyclic carboxylic acid derived from furan. Produced via oxidation of furfural or 3-furfuryl alcohol, its molecular formula is C5H4O3. This white crystalline powder serves as a critical intermediate in organic synthesis.
Store in cool, dry conditions away from oxidizers. Use appropriate PPE to prevent skin contact and inhalation due to corrosive properties.
