2-Methylbenzofuran

Ref. 3D-FM149372

Product Information

• Name: 2-Methylbenzofuran
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Methylbenzofuran is a benzofuran derivative that inhibits the reaction mechanism of carbofuran, which is an insecticide. 2-Methylbenzofuran reacts with the hydroxyl group of carbofuran to form a reactive intermediate. The aromatic hydrocarbon is then converted to the corresponding benzene derivative by chromatographic science and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Phase equilibrium and chemical analyses are used to determine the purity of the product, while recycled 2-methylbenzofuran can be synthesized from fatty acids. The analytical method for this compound is a Friedel-Crafts reaction, which entails reacting 2-methylbenzofuran with phenylhydrazine in refluxing ethanol.
