Furfurylamine
Description
Furfurylamine (CAS 617-89-0 ), also known as 2-Furanmethylamine, is a furan-based primary amine used as a chemical intermediate and flavoring agent in food and fragrance applications. Derived from furfural, it serves as a reactive building block for synthesizing aroma compounds and specialty chemicals where a furan ring structure is required for the final product. In flavor and fragrance manufacturing, it is used to produce nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds that contribute roasted, nutty, and coffee-like aroma profiles to finished formulations. It functions as a key intermediate in synthesizing Maillard-type reaction products, where controlled amine-carbonyl interactions generate target flavor notes for various food applications. Pharmaceutical and agrochemical manufacturers also source it as a building block for active ingredients requiring a furfuryl scaffold for specific biological or chemical activity. Resin formulators use it to modify furan-based polymer systems, where its amine functionality enables crosslinking or chain extension to improve the durability of the material. The product is supplied as a liquid at standard commercial purities, typically 98% and above for technical and synthesis-grade applications across the chemical industry. Food-grade and high-purity research grades are available for flavor and fragrance end uses where tighter specifications are required for safety and performance standards.
