CAS 26501-83-7: 3-Furancarboxylicacid, 5-methyl-, ethyl ester

Description: 3-Furancarboxylic acid, 5-methyl-, ethyl ester, commonly referred to as ethyl 5-methyl-3-furancarboxylate, 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 functional group that has been esterified with ethanol, resulting in its ethyl ester form. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, fruity odor. The presence of the methyl group at the 5-position of the furan ring influences its reactivity and solubility properties, making it more lipophilic. This compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as a building block in the production of various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and flavoring agents. Its chemical stability and relatively low toxicity make it suitable for various applications in the chemical industry. As with many esters, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, reverting to the corresponding acid and alcohol.
