5-(4-Chlorophenyl)furfural is a metabolite of Azimilide (A926950, 2 HCl); an oral type III potassium channel blocker agent that blocks both the rapid activating component and the slow activating component of the delayed rectifier potassium current. Both preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Azimilide and its safety in the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Azimilide is also being studied in a worldwide multicenter trial for prevention of sudden cardiac death in patients after myocardial infarction.

The target compounds 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-furancarboxaldehyde (1-9) were synthesized using 2-furancarboxaldehyde and 4-chloroaniline as starting materials and the reaction was carried out with reference to the methodology reported in the literature [3,13] and the structures were confirmed by appropriate characterization means.
