2-Benzofurancarboxylic acid, 5-methoxy-, ethyl ester

Description:
2-Benzofurancarboxylic acid, 5-methoxy-, ethyl ester, with the CAS number 50551-56-9, is an organic compound characterized by its benzofuran structure, which consists of a fused benzene and furan ring. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group that is esterified with an ethyl group, along with a methoxy group at the 5-position of the benzofuran ring. The presence of the methoxy group enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its biological activity. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water due to their hydrophobic characteristics. They can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and hydrolysis. Additionally, derivatives of benzofuran compounds are often studied for their potential pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
