2-Methyl-7-benzofurancarboxaldehyde

Description:
2-Methyl-7-benzofurancarboxaldehyde is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which combines a benzofuran moiety with an aldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it reactive, particularly in condensation reactions and as a potential electrophile in various organic syntheses. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and fragrance applications. Safety data indicates that, like many aldehydes, it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from light is recommended to maintain its stability and prevent degradation. Overall, 2-Methyl-7-benzofurancarboxaldehyde is a versatile compound with applications in both synthetic organic chemistry and potential industrial uses.
