Description:Tetrahydro-3-furanmethanol, also known by its CAS number 15833-61-1, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure that has been saturated with hydrogen, resulting in a tetrahydrofuran derivative. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the furan ring, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. Tetrahydro-3-furanmethanol is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. It is soluble in water and various organic solvents, making it useful in chemical synthesis and as a potential solvent or intermediate in organic reactions. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group allows for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and viscosity. Additionally, this compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
