5-(Chloromethyl)furfural is used to probe enzyme behaviors and to understand the relationship between molecular structure and activity. It is a precursor for the fabrication of polymers and resins with potential industrial and technological applications. 5-(Chloromethyl)furfural is employed in the creation of new polymers and nanomaterials. Acts as an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The assumed result of this inhibition is an elevated level of acetylcholine, leading to heightened neurotransmission.
