3-Benzofuranmethanol, 2-methyl-

Description:

3-Benzofuranmethanol, 2-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its benzofuran structure, which consists of a fused benzene and furan ring. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the benzofuran moiety, along with a methyl group (-CH3) at the second position of the benzofuran ring. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its potential solubility in polar solvents, while the aromatic nature of the benzofuran structure may impart some hydrophobic characteristics. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and research. Its properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.
