Tetrahydro-5,5-dimethyl-3-furanmethanol

Description:

Tetrahydro-5,5-dimethyl-3-furanmethanol, with the CAS number 22600-85-7, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure that is saturated with additional hydrogen atoms, making it a tetrahydrofuran derivative. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the furan ring, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of two methyl groups at the 5-position of the furan ring enhances its steric properties and may influence its solubility and boiling point. Typically, compounds like this exhibit moderate polarity, making them soluble in polar solvents while having limited solubility in non-polar solvents. Tetrahydro-5,5-dimethyl-3-furanmethanol may be of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and materials science, due to its unique structural features. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
