2-Benzofurancarbonitrile,5-methyl-

Description:

2-Benzofurancarbonitrile, 5-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its benzofuran structure, which consists of a fused benzene and furan ring, with a cyano group (-C≡N) and a methyl group (-CH₃) attached to the benzofuran moiety. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown appearance and is known for its aromatic properties, contributing to its potential applications in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. The presence of the cyano group enhances its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the methyl substitution at the 5-position can influence the compound's solubility, boiling point, and overall reactivity. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Its specific physical and chemical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility, would need to be referenced from reliable chemical databases or literature for precise applications.
