It is made on industrial scale by treating pentose with heat and a strong acid (like sulfuric acid). This leads to formation of furane-2-carbaldehyde. The aldehyde can be removed by reaction with zinc oxide @ 400 degrees C, giving unsubstituted furan.

Why furan do not show nucleophilic subtitution reaction?
Hi I m confused that in simple furan why it do not show nucleophilic subtitution reaction. while in subtituted furan show it.
What is the basicity of furan?
furan though has a lone pair of electron which is not delocalised but due to high electronegetivity of oxygen it is not a available for donation hence has weak basic proerty
What is a pentose?
Pentose is a five carbon sugar. They make up the sugars that form DNA and RNA.
Is furfaral an acid?
No. It is an aldehyde. Furfural is furan-2-carboxaldehyde.
What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])

What is the role of hexose monophosphate shunt?
to produced reducing equivalents NADPH + H+ for Lipid synthesis To generate pentose sugars for nucleotide synthesis
What is the pentose of the sugar in rna?
DNA contains the pentose sugar deoxyribose where as RNA contains the pentose sugar ribose.

Does oil contain pentose?
No, oil does not contain pentose properties. Pentose is a monosaccharide that has 5 different carbon atoms and they are usually organized into 2 different groups.
Where does the pentose phosphate pathway occur?
The pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the cytosol of cells.
Does pentose sugar provide atoms in DNA?
Deoxyribose, the "D" of DNA, is indeed a pentose.
Why is furan insoluble in ether?
Because it has 2 double bonds. An ether might not have any double or triple bonds!
What is the molar mass of furan?
68.08 grams/mole
Do Furan is weak base Or strong base?
weak
What has the author Thomas F Terbilcox written?
Thomas F. Terbilcox has written: 'Formaldehyde modified lignosulfonate extenders for furan systems' -- subject(s): Furan resins
