Glycerides are fatty acid esters of glycerol; they are important in biology, being one of the main classes of lipids and comprising the bulk of animal fats and vegetable oils. 611-13-2, formula is C6H6O3, Name is Methyl furan-2-carboxylate. Esters typically have a pleasant smell; those of low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and are found in essential oils and pheromones. Recommanded Product: Methyl furan-2-carboxylate.
Huang, Ya-Qing;Huang, Xiong-Zhi;Huang, Pei-Qiang research published 《 Synthesis of 5-(1-Alkoxyalkylidene)tetronates by Direct Condensation Reactions of Tetronates with Thionolactones and Thionoesters》, the research content is summarized as follows. We report a two-step approach to bicyclic and monocyclic 5-(1-alkoxyalkylidene)tetronates starting from lactones/esters. The method features the use of thionolactones and thionoesters as activated forms of lactones/esters that allows the direct condensation with tetronates via one-pot enolate formation, nucleophilic addition, S-methylation, and DBU-promoted elimination. The value of the method was demonstrated by the stereoselective syntheses of two natural products: 5,6-Z-fadyenolide (Z/E ratio = 6:1) and 9,10-methylenedioxy-5,6-Z-fadyenolide (Z/E ratio = 9:1).
Recommanded Product: Methyl furan-2-carboxylate, Methyl 2-furoate has been identified as one of the volatile flavor compounds in tequila, okra, berrycactus and black currant juice.
Methyl 2-furoate, also known as fema 2703 or methyl pyromucate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as furoic acid esters. These are ester derivatives of furoic acid. Methyl 2-furoate is soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, methyl 2-furoate is primarily located in the cytoplasm. Methyl 2-furoate is a sweet, fruity, and fungal tasting compound that can be found in a number of food items such as cocoa and cocoa products, potato, tamarind, and fruits. This makes methyl 2-furoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Methyl 2-furoate is a reactive compound that belongs to the family of sesquiterpene lactones. It has been shown to have phosphotungstic acid and hydrochloric acid reactivity, as well as nitrous and water vapor sensitivity. Methyl 2-furoate also reacts with radiation, which can be used for structural analysis. The compound is an intermediate in the synthesis of pluronic p123, which is used in fabricating biomedical devices. Methyl 2-furoate has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties through its inhibitory effect on prostaglandin synthesis., 611-13-2.
