2-(pyridyl-2)-ethyl furfuryl sulfide

2-(pyridyl-2)-ethyl furfuryl sulfide is a sulfur-containing organic compound characterized by the presence of a pyridyl ring attached to an ethyl group linked to a furfuryl sulfide moiety. It exhibits an astringent and green flavor profile, which influences its sensory evaluation. Known synonyms include 2-(2-pyridyl) ethyl furfuryl sulfide and variants thereof. Although not commonly used in flavor or fragrance formulations, this compound is documented for informational purposes within chemical and sensory research domains. Reference data for this compound can be accessed via PubChem where detailed structural and physicochemical properties are available.

This compound does not naturally occur in significant biological systems and is not utilized in commercial flavor or fragrance products. Its primary application is informational or research-based, providing data relevant to chemical and sensory analysis. Standards such as REACH (EU) regulate chemicals of this type primarily for safety and environmental effects, although specific usage restrictions or allowances for 2-(pyridyl-2)-ethyl furfuryl sulfide are not documented due to its non-use in flavors or fragrances.

2-(pyridyl-2)-ethyl furfuryl sulfide is a sulfur-containing molecule combining aromatic pyridyl and heterocyclic furan structures via an ethyl linkage. Its physico-chemical traits include moderate polarity owing to the pyridyl nitrogen and the sulfur atom, factors that affect solubility and volatility. The presence of sulfur typically imparts distinctive organoleptic properties such as an astringent or green flavor profile. Absence of detailed thermal or spectral data limits precise formulation considerations; however, the compound's structural features suggest moderate stability under standard laboratory conditions.
