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 .
An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.
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.
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.
In terms of its structure, it consists of a tetrahydrofuran ring substituted in the 2-position with a hydroxymethyl group. It is a colorless liquid that is used as a specialty solvent and synthetic intermediate, e.g. to 3,4-dihydropyran. It is prepared by hydrogenation of furfural. [1] It is a precursor to 1,5-pentanediol. [2]
Deuterated tetrahydrofuran (d 8-THF) is a colourless, organic liquid at standard temperature and pressure. [1] This heterocyclic compound has the chemical formula C 4 D 8 O, and is an isotopologue of tetrahydrofuran. [2] Deuterated THF is used as a solvent in NMR spectroscopy, though its expense can often be prohibitive. [citation needed]
