Methyl furan-3-carboxylate

Description:
Methyl furan-3-carboxylate is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom. This compound features a carboxylate functional group, specifically an ester, where the methyl group is attached to the oxygen of the carboxylate. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, making it useful in various applications, including as a flavoring agent and in organic synthesis. Methyl furan-3-carboxylate is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the ester functional group. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The compound is of interest in the field of medicinal chemistry and materials science, where it may serve as a building block for more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
