Abstract
5-Phenyl-furan-2-carboxylic acids have emerged as a new, promising class of antimycobacterial agents that have the ability to interfere with iron homeostasis. Considering the lack of structural data on these compounds, we analyzed the crystal of a fluorinated ester derivative of 5-(4-nitrophenyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid, one of the most potent candidates in the series. Here, we describe the preparation of methyl 5-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)furan-2-carboxylate (1) and its analysis by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HRMS, and SC-XRD.
