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. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. [8] Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a ...

This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
Common ether ligands are diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran. Common chelating ether ligands include the glymes, dimethoxyethane (dme) and diglyme, and the crown ethers. Being lipophilic, metal-ether complexes often exhibit solubility in organic solvents, a property of interest in synthetic chemistry.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/100 ml), unless shown otherwise. The substances are listed in alphabetical order.
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran is "inversely soluble" in water. That is, its solubility decreases with increasing temperature, which is a rare property. [4] The solubility of water in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is reported to be 4.4 g/ 100 g at 23 °C. [5] Much like tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran can act as a Lewis base in organometallic reactions.
It is soluble in common organic solvents, including alcohol, ether, and acetone, and is slightly soluble in water. [2] Its odor is "strong, ethereal; chloroform-like". [3] It is toxic and may be carcinogenic in humans. Furan is used as a starting point for other speciality chemicals. [4]
