It is toxic if in contact with skin and if swallowed. So while using this chemical, we should be very careful. As for other safety information, you could also refer to WGK Germany 3. 5-Acetoxymethyl-2-furaldehyde has many suppliers around the world, such ACROS and SigmaAldrich.

In the laborary, you could produce this kind of chemical by the below steps. The first reaction method if to prepare the reactant of 5-hydroxymethyl-furan-2-carbaldehyde and acetic acid anhydride , then let them react in the sodium acetate. Through this way, you could get 5-acetoxymethyl-furan-2-carbaldehyde . The second reaction is to prepare the same reactant and then let it react in the reagent of NaOAc for about 2.5 hours under 80 ℃. With this way, the productivity rate is about 81%.
Besides, 5-Acetoxymethyl-2-furaldehyde could also be as the reactant to produce other substance. The first reaction is to prepare the reactant of 5-acetoxymethyl-furan-2-carbaldehyde and methyllithium , then make it react. Through this way, you could get 5-(acetoxymethyl)-a-methyl-2-furanmethanol . Besides, if you need the same product of 5-(acetoxymethyl)-a-methyl-2-furanmethanol , you just need the following way: let the 5-acetoxymethyl-furan-2-carbaldehyde react with Triisopropyloxymethyltitan , then you could get what you need. And the productivity is about 81%.
