Ethyl 5-bromobenzofuran-2-carboxylate（Cat No.:L046077）is a halogenated benzofuran derivative commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It consists of a fused benzofuran ring with a bromine atom at the 5-position and an ethyl ester group at the 2-position. The bromine facilitates cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, allowing for further functionalization of the aromatic system. The ester group adds versatility for hydrolysis or amidation. This compound is valued for building complex heterocyclic frameworks in medicinal and materials chemistry applications.
