2-Methylfuran-3-carbaldehyde, with the CAS number 5612-67-9, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure substituted with a methyl group and an aldehyde functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic furan ring. The presence of the aldehyde group makes it reactive, particularly in condensation reactions and as a potential electrophile in various organic syntheses. 2-Methylfuran-3-carbaldehyde is of interest in the field of organic chemistry for its potential applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it a subject of study in medicinal chemistry. Proper handling and storage are essential, as with many organic compounds, to ensure safety and stability.
