2-Furanol, tetrahydro-5-methyl-

Description:

2-Furanol, tetrahydro-5-methyl- (CAS 18545-25-0) is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom. This compound features a tetrahydrofuran moiety, indicating that it has undergone hydrogenation, resulting in a saturated cyclic ether. The presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group makes it an alcohol, contributing to its polar nature and potential for hydrogen bonding. Typically, such compounds exhibit moderate solubility in water and are more soluble in organic solvents. The methyl group attached to the furan ring influences its reactivity and physical properties, such as boiling point and volatility. 2-Furanol, tetrahydro-5-methyl- may be utilized in various applications, including as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic compounds, or as a flavoring agent due to its pleasant aroma. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
