4-Bromo-2-furaldehyde

Description:

4-Bromo-2-furaldehyde 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 bromine substituent at the 4-position and an aldehyde functional group at the 2-position, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is typically a pale yellow to brown liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its electrophilic character, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. 4-Bromo-2-furaldehyde is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the furan ring. This compound is of interest in the field of medicinal chemistry and materials science, where it may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or functional materials. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

4-Bromofuran-2-carbaldehyde

CAS: 21921-76-6

4-Bromofuran-2-carbaldehyde is a synthetic compound that has been shown to have antioxidant properties. It contains an electron-donating carbonyl group and an electron-withdrawing bromine atom. 4-Bromofuran-2-carbaldehyde is useful in the treatment of endophytic fungi infections, as it inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, which is an important component of the fungal cell membrane. The molecule's conformational properties are also important for its biological activity, as they enable it to act as a chiral ligand by binding to proteins in a way that will inhibit their function. In addition, 4-bromofuran-2-carbaldehyde has been shown to be effective against cancer cells in vitro, particularly against MMCF7 cells. This may be due to its ability to bind to DNA and prevent transcription or replication of DNA strands.
