2-Furancarboxylic acid, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

2-Furancarboxylic acid, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)furanoate, 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 and a hydroxymethyl group, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor, indicating its potential use in flavor and fragrance industries. The presence of the ester functional group suggests that it can undergo hydrolysis to yield the corresponding acid and alcohol. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate solubility in water due to the polar hydroxymethyl group. Its chemical properties make it a candidate for various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.

Methyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furoate

CAS: 36802-01-4

Methyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furoate is a natural compound that belongs to the class of furoates and is biosynthesized by the reaction of methylfuran with hydrogen peroxide. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial growth in vitro by inhibiting protein synthesis. The mechanism of action is not known, but it may involve hydrogen bonding or competition for the same enzyme as antibiotics. Methyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furoate also inhibits inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis and colitis, in an animal model by suppressing neutrophil recruitment and cytokine production. This compound can be used to control endophytes, which are plant pathogens that live inside plant cells.END>
