Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2-Furanacrolein is an aldehyde. May become involved in exothermic self-condensation or polymerization reactions that are often catalyzed by acid. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases with azo, diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. Can react with air to give first peroxo acids, and ultimately carboxylic acids. These autoxidation reactions are activated by light, catalyzed by salts of transition metals, and are autocatalytic (catalyzed by the products of the reaction). The addition of stabilizers (antioxidants) to shipments of aldehydes retards autoxidation.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data are not available for 2-Furanacrolein, but 2-Furanacrolein is probably combustible.
