  • Applications

    5-Formylfurfuryl acetate (CAS 10551-58-3) is primarily used as an aroma/fragrance chemical and as a synthetic building block in the flavor and fragrance industry; in perfumery it serves as a notes precursor and, owing to the furan ring and aldehyde functionality, can contribute to sweet, warm, and woody scent profiles. It is commonly evaluated as an intermediate for the synthesis of other fragrance and flavor compounds, enabling downstream elaboration into complex odorants used in cosmetics, personal care products, and household fragrances. In polymer and materials chemistry, the furan-containing ester can serve as a reactive starting material for furan-based resins or as a platform for further derivatization. Its use is typically subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
