Furoic Acid can he nitrated or sulfonated directly without appreciable decomposition. Furoyl Chloride, an important intermediate, may be made by treating the acid with phosphorus pcntachloride, thionyl chlor­ide or phosgene.

Uses are in their· infancy. A very few have been un­covered. The literature mentions its use to enhance the gloss and drying qualities of paints and as a bactericide and preservative. A. hair rinsing preparation, anti-scorch additive in rubber, and intermediate in preparation of esters are other uses which arc reported. The esters are useful in perfumery and are claimed to have a strong repellent effect toward flics.
