Cas no 534-22-5 (2-Methylfuran)

2-Methylfuran (C?H?O) is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by its five-membered furan ring with a methyl substituent at the 2-position. This colorless, volatile liquid exhibits a low boiling point (63–65°C) and moderate solubility in water, making it suitable for applications in organic synthesis and industrial processes. Its reactivity as a diene in Diels-Alder reactions and its role as a precursor in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances underscore its utility. 2-Methylfuran is also noted for its potential as a bio-based solvent and fuel additive due to its renewable sourcing from biomass-derived furfural. Handling requires caution due to its flammability and potential toxicity.
