IUPAC nomenclature is a systematic way of naming organic chemical compounds. Ideally, every organic compound should have a name from which an unambiguous structural formula can be drawn. There is also a IUPAC system for naming inorganic compounds, see the systematic name page for details. In IUPAC nomenclature, a number... Chemical name	Benzofuran
A chemical formula (also called molecular formula) is a concise way of expressing information about the atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound. It identifies each type of element by its chemical symbol and identifies the number of atoms of such element to be found in each discrete molecule of... Chemical formula	C8H6O
The molecular mass of a substance (less accurately called molecular weight and abbreviated as MW) is the mass of one molecule of that substance, relative to the unified atomic mass unit u (equal to 1/12 the mass of one atom of carbon-12). The molecular mass can be calculated... Molecular mass	118.13 g/mol
The melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. When considered as the temperature of the reverse change, it is referred to as the freezing point. For example, the melting point of the element mercury is 234.32 kelvins (−38... Melting point	< -18 °C

CAS registry numbers are unique numerical identifiers for chemical compounds, polymers, biological sequences and alloys. They are also referred to as CAS numbers or CAS RNs. Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, assigns these identifiers to every chemical that has been described in the literature... CAS number	271-89-6
The simplified molecular input line entry specification or SMILES is a specification for unambiguously describing the structure of chemical molecules using short ASCII alpha-numeric strings. SMILES strings can be imported by most molecule editors for conversion back into two-dimensional drawings or three-dimensional models of the molecules. The... SMILES	C1(OC=C2)=C2C=CC=C1

Benzofuran, also known as Cumaron, Coumarone, or benzo[b]furan, is a Heterocyclic compounds are substances which contain a ring structure as found in benzene and the aromatic compounds, or aromatic hydrocarbons, but in which other atoms than carbon, such as sulfur, oxygen or nitrogen are found as part of the ring. Some examples are pyridine (C5H5N) and pyrimidine (C4H4N2). Note that... heterocyclic In chemistry, an aromatic molecule is one in which electrons are free to cycle around circular arrangements of atoms, which are alternately singly and doubly bonded to one another. (More properly, these bonds may be seen as a hybrid of a single bond and a double bond, each bond in... aromatic An organic compound is any of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with exception of carbides, carbonates and carbon oxides. Organic compounds are studied in organic chemistry; many of them, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars), are also of prime importance in biochemistry. Some of... organic compound.
