2,5-Dihydrofuran

Description:

2,5-Dihydrofuran is a cyclic ether with the molecular formula C4H8O, characterized by a five-membered ring structure containing two double bonds that are reduced to form a saturated compound. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a pleasant, sweet odor. This compound is known for its relatively low boiling point and moderate solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. 2,5-Dihydrofuran is often used as a solvent and as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the ether functional group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including polymerization and oxidation. Additionally, it has garnered interest in the field of renewable resources, as it can be derived from biomass. Safety considerations include its flammability and potential health effects upon inhalation or skin contact, necessitating appropriate handling and storage measures.
