(2E)-3-(2-Methyl-3-furanyl)-2-propenal

Description:

(2E)-3-(2-Methyl-3-furanyl)-2-propenal, also known as a furan derivative, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure that includes a furan ring and an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde functional group. This compound typically exhibits a yellow to brown color and has a distinctive aromatic odor, which is common among furan derivatives. It is likely to be a liquid at room temperature, with moderate volatility. The presence of the furan ring contributes to its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic addition reactions, and the unsaturation in the propenal moiety makes it susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, which is often explored in the context of flavoring agents or potential pharmaceutical applications. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water is typical for compounds of this nature. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as furan derivatives can pose health risks.
