2-Methylfuran

Description:

2-Methylfuran is an organic compound classified as a furan derivative, characterized by a five-membered aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom and a methyl group attached to the second carbon of the furan ring. It has a molecular formula of C5H6O and a relatively low molecular weight. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a distinctive sweet, caramel-like odor. 2-Methylfuran is known for its flammability and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2-Methylfuran has garnered interest as a potential biofuel due to its favorable properties, such as high energy content and compatibility with existing fuel infrastructure. Safety considerations include its potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.

2-Methylfuran

CAS: 534-22-5

2-Methylfuran is a compound that has been used as a catalyst in the synthesis of 2-methylpentane. The presence of nitrogen atoms in the molecule gives it some synergic effect with other catalysts, such as palladium and nickel. 2-Methylfuran can be detected at sensitivities of 10 parts per billion. A kinetic energy of ˜400 kJ/mole and a hydroxyl group give this compound the ability to react with laminar tissue culture cells. 2-Methylfuran is also a solid catalyst for methyl ethyl ketones, which are used in the production of solvents, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Its transport properties are similar to those of isooctane, making it useful for studies on gas chromatography analysis.
