2-Nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)furan

Description:

2-Nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)furan is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring, which is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing one oxygen atom. The presence of a nitro group (-NO2) at the 2-position and a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) at the 5-position significantly influences its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a pale yellow to brown liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is known for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to the presence of the nitro and trifluoromethyl substituents, which can enhance biological activity and lipophilicity. The trifluoromethyl group, in particular, is known to impart unique electronic properties, making the compound of interest in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, 2-Nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)furan may exhibit moderate to high stability under standard conditions, but it should be handled with care due to the potential toxicity associated with nitro compounds. Proper safety protocols should be followed when working with this substance.
