I don't understand the part "in a similar way to which a carbon-carbon double bond is in benzene". What is the omitted verb after "is"?

I think it means there is a carbon-carbon double bond in Benzene, similar to the one in Furan. Of course I don't know what any of that means.

The structures are mislabelled as tetrahydrofuran

Furan is certainly not aromatic. The doubles bonds are only conjugated. See Huekel's Rule.

Furan is aromatic - two double bonds plus one lone pair meet Huckel's rule. --Ed (Edgar181) 11:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Furan in soy protein

Furan's presence in soy protein should be mentioned in the article.[1] Badagnani (talk) 07:25, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
