5-Methyl-2-furoic acid

Description:

5-Methyl-2-furoic acid 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 carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the furan ring, specifically at the 5 and 2 positions, respectively. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. 5-Methyl-2-furoic acid is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, making it versatile for various applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Additionally, its unique structure may contribute to specific biological activities, although detailed studies on its biological properties are limited. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
