Furan,tetrahydro-2,5-dimethyl-, (2R,5S)-rel-

Description:

Furan, tetrahydro-2,5-dimethyl-, (2R,5S)-rel- is a cyclic organic compound characterized by its five-membered ring structure containing four carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. This compound is a saturated derivative of furan, which means it has undergone hydrogenation, resulting in a more stable structure. The presence of two methyl groups at the 2 and 5 positions contributes to its unique properties, including its potential as a solvent and in various chemical syntheses. The (2R,5S)-rel- designation indicates its specific stereochemistry, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Generally, tetrahydrofuran derivatives exhibit moderate polarity and can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and cycloadditions. This compound may also have applications in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries due to its structural characteristics. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
