2-Chlorofuran is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a furan ring, which is a five-membered aromatic heterocycle containing one oxygen atom. The "2-chloro" designation indicates that a chlorine atom is substituted at the second carbon position of the furan ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive aromatic odor. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of both the furan ring and the chlorine substituent, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 2-Chlorofuran is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks upon exposure, including irritation to the skin and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance in a laboratory setting.
