Description

2-Bromo-1-furan-2-yl-ethanone is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. It has been shown to possess the ability to form a variety of chemical bonds with molybdenum, copper, and other elements. The compound is used as a starting material for synthesis of natural products and pharmaceuticals. 2-Bromo-1-furan-2-yl-ethanone was first synthesized by the reaction between an aldehyde and methyl bromide in methanol solvent. This same reaction can be catalyzed by copper(I) iodide or iron(III) chloride. Cytometry has revealed that this compound's basic structure adopts two conformations: one with the furan ring flipped over, and one with the furan ring lying flat on the plane of the molecule. This molecule also possesses enantioselective properties, which are due to its chiral center
