2-Furancarboxylic acid, 5-formyl-, ethyl ester

Description:
2-Furancarboxylic acid, 5-formyl-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl 5-formyl-2-furoate, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing oxygen. This compound features a carboxylic acid group and an aldehyde group, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, indicating its potential use in flavoring and fragrance industries. The presence of both the ester and aldehyde functional groups allows for various chemical reactions, including esterification and condensation reactions, making it valuable in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Additionally, its solubility in organic solvents and moderate stability under standard conditions make it suitable for various laboratory applications. As with many furan derivatives, it may exhibit biological activity, warranting further investigation into its potential pharmacological properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
