CAS 24673-56-1: 3-Methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid
Description:3-Methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid is an organic compound characterized by its fused benzofuran structure, which consists of a benzene ring fused to a furan ring, along with a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its aromatic nature. The presence of the carboxylic acid group contributes to its acidity and potential reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as esterification or amidation. The methyl group at the 3-position of the benzofuran ring influences its physical and chemical properties, including its boiling point and solubility. 3-Methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its unique structure allows for potential applications in organic synthesis and material science. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
