:

2-Furancarboxylic acid, tetrahydro-5-oxo-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Furancarboxylic acid, tetrahydro-5-oxo-, methyl ester, also known by its CAS number 3885-29-8, 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 an ester group, specifically a methyl ester, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the tetrahydro-5-oxo moiety indicates that it has undergone hydrogenation, resulting in a saturated structure that can influence its chemical behavior. This compound may exhibit properties such as moderate polarity, making it soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. It can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and hydrolysis, and may be of interest in synthetic organic chemistry and potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
