2-Acetylfuran (2-Furyl Methyl Ketone) (CAS: 1192-62-7) is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong reducing agents, and strong bases. It is combustible. On decomposition, 2-Acetylfuran releases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
2-Acetylfuran is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, used in manufacturing aroma compounds, and is used in the production of the generic cephalophosphorin antibiotic Cefuroxime. Widely used in chemical industry and other fields.
GB 2760-1996 specifies the permitted use of food flavors. For almonds, nuts, baked goods, brown sugar, bread and other flavors.
2-Acetylfuran is a volatile heterocyclic flavor compound that may be formed in food due to Maillard reaction. It has been reported in roasted sesame seeds, fried beef and sweet corn products.

FEMA: baked food, seasoning, meat product, soup, soup, all 20.0mg/kg. Toxic GRAS(FEMA). 

2-Acetylfuran is a Friedel-Kraft condensation reaction of Furan and Acetyl Chloride.  

Exposures to 2-acetylfuran by ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption cause harmful effects. It causes irritation to the skin, the eyes, coughing, respiratory tract irritation, and respiratory distress. Accidental ingestion causes irritation of the digestive tract. There are no data about chronic exposure and adverse effects.   

2-Acetylfuran should be kept away from sources of ignition, heat, sparks, flame, and light. It should be kept stored in a tightly sealed container in a dry area/refrigerated (below 4℃/39°F).  

During handling and use of 2-Acetylfuran, occupational workers should use appropriate and proper personal protective equipment and wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Workers should avoid generating dusty conditions, minimize generation and accumulation of dust, remove all sources of ignition, and use a spark-proof tool. Workers should use 2-Acetylfuran only in a chemical fume hood.
