Description

Furfuryl 3-Mercaptopropionate CAS NO 93859-19-9 is a specialized sulfur-containing ester derived from furfuryl alcohol and 3-mercaptopropionic acid. This compound is valued for its unique chemical structure, which combines a furan ring with a thiol ester functionality, making it a versatile intermediate and additive. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and polymer industries for its ability to impart distinctive organoleptic properties or act as a reactive modifier. Its application is driven by the need for high-purity, reliable intermediates in advanced synthesis.

Application

• Key intermediate in the synthesis of complex flavor and fragrance molecules, particularly those requiring sulfurous, roasted, or coffee-like notes.
• Building block for specialty polymers and resins, where it can act as a cross-linking agent or modifier to enhance material properties.
• Precursor in the production of agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals, leveraging its reactive thiol and ester groups.
• Additive in lubricant and fuel formulations to improve performance characteristics.
• Research and development chemical for exploring new reactions in organic and medicinal chemistry.
• Component in the creation of advanced materials, such as conductive polymers or sensors.

Quality Control

Our Furfuryl 3-Mercaptopropionate is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including GC and HPLC, to monitor critical parameters such as assay and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific tests is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, containers should be kept sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air.
