These species feature a 2-aminomethyl furan linked to phenoxy group.

The name furan comes from the Latin furfur, which means bran.

The furan may be fused in different ways producing several isomers.

She is a close friend of Furan, whom she likes to tease.

Where furan is derived from pentose, this method can involve renewable resources.

They are sometimes considered oxidized derivatives of furan.

The distribution of these products is highly dependent on the substitution pattern of the furan.

The Oxygen in furan has two lone pairs, one of which fills a p-orbital on that position.

In furan, the oxygen atom is sp2 hybridized.

The resulting epoxycarbonyl can be cyclized to a furan under acidic or basic conditions.

Isomaltol is a natural furan obtained by the enzymatic degradation of starch.

The simplest adduct of furan and acetone is 2,2-di-2-furylpropane, the title compound.

Dioxin and furan, according to Federal studies, occur at temperatures below 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit.

This can lessen the ring's aromaticity, and thus (as in the case of furan) increase its reactivity.

For example, furan (see picture) is a five-membered ring with two alternating double bonds and an oxygen in position 1.

Dehydration of the hemiacetal gives the resultant furan.

The reaction involves oxidation and decarboxylation of the furan:

The site was found to be contaminated with dioxin, furan, asbestos, heavy metals and petroleum hydrocarbons.

The amendments discussed by all the groups to permit stricter controls on furan and dioxin emissions are also justified.

THF can also be synthesized by catalytic hydrogenation of furan.

The Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with furan can produce two isomeric products.

They consist of coumarin annulated with furan.

Despite her shyness, Furan is very strict when it comes to Maken-ki's duties that need to be carried out.

Furan's maken, Habaya, is a bow that fires homing light arrows.

A derivative of furan, this simple compound is a potential biofuel, being derivable from cellulose.
