2-Ethyl-3-methylbenzofuran

Description:
2-Ethyl-3-methylbenzofuran is an organic compound characterized by its fused benzene and furan rings, which contribute to its aromatic properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is relatively hydrophobic, indicating low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. The presence of ethyl and methyl groups on the benzofuran structure influences its reactivity and physical properties, such as boiling and melting points. 2-Ethyl-3-methylbenzofuran may exhibit moderate volatility and can participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution due to the electron-rich nature of the aromatic system. Its applications may extend to the fields of fragrance, flavoring, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper safety measures are in place.
