Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 609-39-2 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. 2-NITROFURAN is a minor antimicrobial used in veterinary medicine.
2. Nitrofurans are a class of broad-spectrum antibacterial
compounds that are commonly added to water to destroy
bacteria. However, nitrofurans have recently been withdrawn
for use in the United States by the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). Now, 2-nitrofuran is used as a minor
antimicrobial in veterinary medicine.
Environmental Fate
2-Nitrofuran is a yellow crystalline solid with molecular weight
of 113.07152 g mol-1. The boiling point of 2-nitrofuran is
84 ℃ at 17 hPa and the melting point is 29–33 ℃. It is
a flammable solid. Its flash point is 88 ℃ (closed cup). Vapor
pressure is 0.398mmHg at 25 ℃. This compound is soluble in
H2O and ethanol. Its density is 1.344 g cm-3.
The partition behavior of 2-nitrofuran in water, sediment,
and soil is 0.8. No data are available on its environmental
persistency (degradation/speciation), long-range transport,
bioaccumulation, and biomagnification. This chemical is
stable but it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
Toxicity evaluation
2-Nitrofuran reacts with DNA to form complexes, induces
interstrand cross-links, produces alkali-labile lesions, and
interferes with nucleic acid synthesis. Removal of the nitro
group decreases the mutagenic activity.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 609-39-2 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 6,0 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 3 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 609-39:
(5*6)+(4*0)+(3*9)+(2*3)+(1*9)=72
72 % 10 = 2
So 609-39-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Reactions of trialkyl(2-furyl)germanes with electrophilic reagents
Lukevics, E.,Ignatovich, L.,Goldberg, Yu.,Polyak, F.,Gaukhman, A.,et al.
, p. 11 - 24 (2007/10/02)
The metallation (n-BuLi), alkylation (t-BuOH/H+), nitration (NO2+ BF4-), bromination (NBS, dioxane dibromide (DDB)), acylation and chlorination (chloramine T) reactions of (2-furyl)germanes were studied.Except for alkylation and bromination with DDB, the reactions involved electrophilic substitution of hydrogen atoms in position 5 or 3 of the furan ring.The alkylation reaction and bromination with DDB occur via ipso-substitution of the trialkylgermyl group.Dichlorocarbene generated by phase-transfer catalysis adds to the 2-germyl-substituted furan at the C4=C5 bond in the ring.Some of the above reactions were conducted with trimethyl(2-furyl)silane and 2-(t-butyl)furan, the silicon and carbon analogues of furylgermanes.The reactivities of the title compounds were compared.
