cis-2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran

Description:
Cis-2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran, with the CAS number 2144-40-3, is a chemical compound characterized by its tetrahydrofuran ring structure, which is a five-membered cyclic ether. This compound features two hydroxymethyl groups (-CH2OH) attached to the 2 and 5 positions of the tetrahydrofuran ring, contributing to its hydrophilicity and potential reactivity. The "cis" configuration indicates that the hydroxymethyl groups are oriented on the same side of the ring, which can influence the compound's physical and chemical properties, such as solubility and reactivity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. The presence of hydroxymethyl groups allows for hydrogen bonding, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents like water. This compound may be utilized in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in polymer chemistry, or as a potential intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines.
