CAS 453-20-3
:(±)-3-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran
Description:
(±)-3-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran, with the CAS number 453-20-3, is a cyclic organic compound characterized by a five-membered ring structure containing an ether and a hydroxyl functional group. This compound is a stereoisomer, meaning it exists in two enantiomeric forms due to the presence of a chiral center at the carbon atom adjacent to the hydroxyl group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and is soluble in water and various organic solvents, which makes it versatile in chemical reactions and applications. The hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in hydrogen bonding and various nucleophilic reactions. (±)-3-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. Its properties, such as boiling point and density, can vary slightly depending on the specific enantiomer and the conditions under which it is measured. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic solvents and reactive compounds.
