5-IODO-2-FUROIC ACID,97%

Description:

5-Iodo-2-furoic acid is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an iodine atom and a carboxylic acid functional group attached to a furan ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, due to its carboxylic acid group. The iodine substitution at the 5-position of the furan ring enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including medicinal chemistry and agrochemicals. The compound is often utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other biologically active molecules. It is important to handle 5-iodo-2-furoic acid with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory settings. The purity of 97% indicates that it is suitable for research and industrial applications, although further purification may be required for specific uses.

5-Iodofuran-2-carboxylic acid

CAS: 18614-11-4

5-Iodofuran-2-carboxylic acid is an ionic compound that acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor. It is a hardener in liquid crystal display (LCD) screens, and has been used to increase the hardness of epoxy resin in coatings for plastic. 5-Iodofuran-2-carboxylic acid inhibits the serotonin transporter (SERT), which is responsible for the reuptake of serotonin from the synaptic cleft. This inhibition leads to increased extracellular concentrations of serotonin, which can result in serotonergic side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and headache.
