2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)furan

Description:
2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)furan is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom. The presence of a methyl group at the 2-position and a trifluoromethyl group at the 5-position significantly influences its chemical properties. This compound is typically colorless to pale yellow in appearance and is known for its distinctive odor. It is relatively stable under standard conditions but can undergo reactions typical of furan derivatives, such as electrophilic substitution and oxidation. The trifluoromethyl group enhances the compound's lipophilicity and can affect its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. 2-Methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)furan is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in agrochemical formulations. Its unique structure and properties make it of interest in both industrial and research settings, particularly in the development of new materials and pharmaceuticals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
