2-Benzofurancarboxylicacid, methyl ester

Description:

2-Benzofurancarboxylic acid, methyl ester, also known as methyl 2-benzofurancarboxylate, is an organic compound characterized by its benzofuran structure, which consists of a fused benzene and furan ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its aromatic properties and is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The ester functional group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to undergo hydrolysis to form the corresponding carboxylic acid. Its solubility in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, makes it useful in various chemical reactions. Additionally, 2-benzofurancarboxylic acid, methyl ester may exhibit biological activity, which has drawn interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose risks if ingested or inhaled.

Methyl benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate

CAS: 1646-27-1

Methyl benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate is a synthetic chemical compound that is not found in nature. It has been shown to have potent anticancer activity against a variety of cancer cell lines, including leukemia, prostate, colon, and breast cancer cells. Methyl benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate inhibits the growth of these cells by inducing programmed cell death (apoptosis) through a mechanism that is different from other anticancer drugs. This chemical also has significant inhibitory activity against alkene and benzofuran derivatives, which are known to be resistant to chemotherapy. Methyl benzo[b]furan-2-carboxylate has not shown any neurotoxicity in animal models and has a good safety profile.
