Furan Summary (1222 words)
Furan, also known as furane and furfuran, is an aromatic heterocyclic organic compound, produced when wood, especially pine-wood, is distilled.
Furan is a clear, colorless, very volatile and highly flammable liquid with a boiling point close to room temperature.
Furan is aromatic because one of the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atom is delocalized into the ring, creating a 4n+2 aromatic system (see Hückel's rule) similar to benzene.
