2-Furancarboxylic acid, 5-methyl-, ethyl ester

Description:

2-Furancarboxylic acid, 5-methyl-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 5-methyl-2-furoate, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing oxygen. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group and an ester linkage, contributing to its reactivity and solubility properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity aroma, making it of interest in the flavor and fragrance industry. The presence of the methyl group at the 5-position of the furan ring influences its chemical behavior and potential applications. This ester is generally soluble in organic solvents and has low solubility in water, which is common for many esters. Its chemical properties allow it to participate in various reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it a candidate for further research in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
