5-[(3,5-Dimethyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde

CAS: 512809-77-7

5-[(3,5-Dimethyl-4-nitro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]furan-2-carbaldehyde (MFA) is a nucleophilic reagent that can be used to introduce the triflate group into organic molecules. MFA is prepared by reacting 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural with methanesulfonyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. This compound has been used to study DNA methylation, as well as reactions involving sulfonates and mesylates.
br>br>
The MFA molecule has a nucleophilic hydroxymethyl group that reacts with electron withdrawing groups such as trifluoromethanesulfonate and methanesulfonyl chloride. The electron donating hydroxymethyl group can also react with electron withdrawing groups such as tosylate and sulfonate, which have an electrophilic carbonyl carbon atom
