Product Information

• Name: 4-Chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran is a primary alcohol that is used as a catalyst in intramolecular cyclization reactions. It is functionalized with chlorine and can be converted to a chloride salt. This compound undergoes an intramolecular cyclization reaction to form a six-membered ring structure. The cyclization reaction does not require an acid or base catalyst and can be performed in the presence of water. 4-Chloro-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran is more reactive than benzene, which makes it useful for synthesizing other compounds that contain the six-membered ring structure.
