3-Methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid

Description:

3-Methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid, with the CAS number 4412-96-8, 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 (-COOH) at the 2-position and a methyl group (-CH3) at the 3-position of the furan ring. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. The presence of the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and decarboxylation. 3-Methylfuran-2-carboxylic acid is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, making it useful in organic synthesis and potentially in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its unique structure and functional groups contribute to its reactivity and potential applications in various chemical processes. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
