(5-methylfuran-2-yl)acetic acid

Description:
(5-Methylfuran-2-yl)acetic acid is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing oxygen. This compound features a methyl group at the 5-position and a carboxylic acid functional group at the 2-position of the furan ring. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the carboxylic acid group imparts acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and amidation. Its solubility in polar solvents like water and alcohols is notable, while it may have limited solubility in non-polar solvents. (5-Methylfuran-2-yl)acetic acid can be used in organic synthesis and may have applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals due to its unique structural features. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
