CAS 5371-52-8

2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran

Description:

2-Hydroxytetrahydrofuran, with the CAS number 5371-52-8, is a cyclic ether characterized by a five-membered ring structure containing both oxygen and carbon atoms. It features a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the second carbon of the tetrahydrofuran ring, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a solvent and in organic synthesis. The hydroxyl group also allows for hydrogen bonding, influencing its boiling point and other physical properties. Additionally, 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran can participate in various chemical reactions, such as dehydration and oxidation, making it a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as with many organic compounds, including proper handling and storage to avoid potential hazards.
