  • Applications

    Ethyl 2-(furan-2-yl)acetate, CAS 4915-21-3, is mainly used as an aroma-chemical intermediate and odorant in perfumery and cosmetics, providing green and light woody notes for fragrance formulations; it is also regarded as a synthetic building block for organic synthesis in the production of pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds; in addition, it may be used in household and cleaning products as a fragrance ingredient to impart fresh, pleasant scents; in industrial manufacturing, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of fragrant and specialty compounds and related materials, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
