Benzofuran,3-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)-

Description:

Benzofuran, 3-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl)-, identified by its CAS number 758686-34-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzofurans, which are fused bicyclic structures containing a benzene ring and a furan ring. This particular compound features a methyl group at the 3-position and an isopropyl group at the 5-position of the benzofuran structure, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically characterized by its aromatic nature, which imparts stability and influences its reactivity. The presence of the isopropyl group can enhance hydrophobic interactions, affecting its solubility in various solvents. Benzofurans are often studied for their potential biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The compound may also exhibit fluorescence, making it of interest in materials science and organic electronics. As with many organic compounds, its behavior in chemical reactions can be influenced by factors such as temperature, solvent, and the presence of other functional groups. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
