Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or oxolane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound , specifically a cyclic ether . It is a colorless, water- miscible organic liquid with low viscosity .
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C 5 H 10 O. It is a highly flammable, mobile liquid. It is mainly used as a replacement for Tetrahydrofuran (THF) in specialized applications for its better performance, such as to obtain higher reaction temperatures, or easier separations (as, unlike THF, it is not miscible with water).
It is produced by polymerization of tetrahydrofuran as well as 1,4-butanediol. The product is commercially available as polymers of low average molecular weights , between 250 and 3000 daltons . In this form it is a white waxy solid that melts between 20 and 30 °C.
2,2,5,5-tetramethyltetrahydrofuran (TMTHF) or 2,2,5,5-tetramethyloxolane (TMO) is a heterocyclic compound with the formula C 8 H 16 O, or (CH 3) 2 (C(CH 2) 2 OC)(CH 3) 2.It can be seen as derivative of tetrahydrofuran (oxolane) with four methyl groups replacing four hydrogen atoms on each of the carbon atoms in the ring that are adjacent to the oxygen.
Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is an organic compound with the formula HOCH 2 C 4 H 7 O. In terms of its structure, it consists of a tetrahydrofuran ring substituted in the 2-position with a hydroxymethyl group.
FC-75 is a fluorocarbon derivative of tetrahydrofuran with the chemical formula C 8 F 16 O. It is practically insoluble in water. It is one of the 3M Fluorinert fluids. It is used as an inert coolant fluid in electronics and other applications, and as a solvent.
Borane–tetrahydrofuran is an adduct derived from borane and tetrahydrofuran (THF). These solutions, which are colorless, are used for reductions and hydroboration , reactions that are useful in synthesis of organic compounds .
