2-Acetylfuran

2-Acetylfuran (2-Furyl methyl ketone), an important flavour compound or intermediate in foods, is isolated from essential oils, sweet corn products, fruits and flowers. 2-Acetylfuran also can be formed from glucose and glycine by Maillard reaction. 2-Acetylfuran can be used to synthesis Cefuroxime. 2-acetylfuran can be used in the synthesis of reagents with antiamoebic activity[1][2][3].
