| 1. | There are 6 ?-electrons, so furan is aromatic.
|
| 2. | Furan is used as a starting point to other specialty chemicals.
|
| 3. | Ordinarily, furan-side monoadducts form in a higher proportion.
|
| 4. | Reduction gives 2, 5-bis ( hydroxymethyl ) furan.
|
| 5. | ?-Epoxy carbonyls have been known to cyclize to furans.
|
| 6. | The furan may be fused in different ways producing several isomers.
|
| 7. | The Celgar pulp mill in Castlegar has eliminated dioxin and furan compounds.
|
| 8. | Included are pyridine, thiophene, pyrrole, and furan.
|
| 9. | In furan, the oxygen atom is sp 2 hybridized.
|
| 10. | Dioxins and furans are considered by many to be serious health hazards.
