2-Furamide(cat: L031375), also known as furan-2-carboxamide, is a heterocyclic organic compound featuring a furan ring substituted with a carboxamide group at the 2-position. This structure imparts both aromaticity and hydrogen-bonding capability, making it a useful intermediate in medicinal chemistry and agrochemical development. It is commonly explored in the synthesis of bioactive molecules, particularly those with antibacterial, antifungal, or anti-inflammatory properties. The amide group enhances molecular stability and allows for diverse chemical modifications, such as N-alkylation or condensation reactions. 2-Furamide is also valuable in structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies, serving as a core scaffold in the design of furan-based therapeutic agents.
