:5-nitrobenzofuran
Description:
5-Nitrobenzofuran is an organic compound characterized by its fused benzene and furan rings, with a nitro group (-NO2) positioned at the 5th carbon of the benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a yellow to orange solid and is known for its aromatic properties, which contribute to its stability and reactivity. The presence of the nitro group enhances its electrophilic character, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and reductions. 5-Nitrobenzofuran is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its solubility varies depending on the solvent, and it is generally more soluble in organic solvents than in water. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as nitro compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks. Proper storage and handling protocols should be followed to mitigate any potential risks associated with its use.
