furan
Five-membered aromatic ring
Furan is an organic compound with a five-membered ring containing four carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.
It's a colorless, volatile liquid with an odor resembling chloroform.
Furan and its derivatives appear throughout organic chemistry—in pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and as intermediates in synthesis.
Furans also form naturally during cooking, contributing to flavors in roasted coffee and bread.
