Methyl 4-bromofuran-2-carboxylate (Cat No.: R027750) is a halogenated heterocyclic ester featuring a furan ring substituted with a bromine atom at the 4-position and a methyl ester at the 2-position. This compound is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and biologically active heterocycles. The bromine atom allows for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, enabling structural diversification. Its furan core contributes to bioactivity, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry and fine chemical development.
