Product Information
This page presents Methyl Benzofuran-5-carboxylate with CAS Registry Number 108763-47-9 and molecular formula C10H8O3. PubChem maps that exact CAS to CID 12674941 and gives the title Methyl benzofuran-5-carboxylate. The matching identifiers create a consistent way to read the record and to distinguish it from names that may look similar in a list or search result.
The verified structure notation is COC(=O)C1=CC2=C(C=C1)OC=C2; the corresponding InChIKey is XDRBAVJWSHNLQN-UHFFFAOYSA-N. PubChem records the IUPAC name as methyl 1-benzofuran-5-carboxylate. Cross-checking those values with CAS 108763-47-9 and formula C10H8O3 confirms that the page points to a single defined compound record. This is important when only a partial name is supplied in an enquiry.
When sending an enquiry, include the CAS number or another identity field that can be checked against this page. A formula and structure representation can be particularly useful where names are similar. The page exists to present the verified record identity for Methyl Benzofuran-5-carboxylate; any request for information beyond that identity should be considered separately. For the benzofuran ester, retain the 5-carboxylate position when comparing a submitted drawing. The methoxycarbonyl group is visible at the beginning of the verified SMILES. CID 12674941 links that structural description to the recorded CAS. The existing record-level ProductName and code already agree with this identity and remain unchanged.
