Application | 2-nitrofuran as furan derivatives, can be used as pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates and organic synthesis intermediates, mainly used in laboratory research and development process and chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis process. |
Use | 2-nitrofuran is a furan derivative, which can be used as a pharmaceutical synthesis intermediate. In addition, 2-nitrofuran can also be used to prepare histone acetylase inhibitors, which are reversible modifications called histone deacetylases (HDACs). A class of enzymes will catalyze the deacetylation reaction. |
