Applications
2-Furanecarboxylic acid, 2-butyl ester, commonly known as butyl furoate, is used primarily as an aroma compound in perfumery and flavor applications. It serves as an odorant and fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, as well as in household cleaners. It may be employed as a fragrance intermediate or building block in industrial manufacturing, coatings, and inks to impart a characteristic furan note. The use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
