Product Information
Name:5-Methylbenzofuran
Brand:Biosynth
Description:5-Methylbenzofuran is an intermediate in the arylation of benzene with aryl halides. It is prepared by the reaction of benzene with palladium acetate, which is then followed by the addition of sodium borohydride to produce 5-methylbenzofuran. This compound can also be synthesized from 5-methylbenzyl chloride and phenyl boronic acid. 5-Methylbenzofuran has been shown to act as an anticancer agent by inhibiting tumor cell growth and inducing tumor dna methylation. The mechanism of action includes its ability to inhibit enzymatic reactions that are necessary for DNA synthesis and repair, such as RNA polymerase, DNA methyltransferase, and DNA topoisomerase II.
