4-chloro-furfural

Description:
4-Chloro-furfural is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing one oxygen atom. It is a derivative of furfural, where a chlorine atom is substituted at the fourth position of the furan ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. 4-Chloro-furfural is known for its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the electron-withdrawing chlorine atom, which can influence its chemical behavior. It is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many chlorinated compounds, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling 4-chloro-furfural due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
