Furan-2,3,4-(5H)trione, also known as 5-hydroxy-2-furancarboxaldehyde or simply furfural, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H2O2. It is a heterocyclic compound consisting of a furan ring with a formyl group (CHO) at the 5-position and hydroxyl group (OH) at the 2-position. Furfural is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic almond-like odor. It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in the production of various chemicals, such as furfuryl alcohol, furan resins, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of other important compounds like levulinic acid and 2-methylfuran. Furfural is primarily derived from the dehydration of pentoses, such as xylose and arabinose, which are found in agricultural by-products like corncobs, oat hulls, and rice husks. Its industrial applications also extend to the flavoring and fragrance industries, as well as in the production of solvents and dyes.

4374-59-8 Usage
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 4374-59-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 4,3,7 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively.Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 4374-59:
(6*4)+(5*3)+(4*7)+(3*4)+(2*5)+(1*9)=98
98 % 10 = 8
So 4374-59-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
