Japanese: クマロン - くまろん(英語表記)cumarone
Cumarone - Kumaron (English spelling)

A heterocyclic compound containing an oxygen atom in the ring. Also known as benzofuran. Found in small amounts in the light oil fraction of coal tar.

It is obtained by cyclization of phenoxyacetaldehyde in the presence of zinc chloride. It is a colorless, aromatic liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in various organic solvents. The tar fraction containing coumarone and indene is purified and polymerized to give thermoplastic synthetic resins called coumarone resins or coumarone-indene resins. They are used in the manufacture of paints, printing inks, etc.
