2-Methyltetrahydrofuran

Description:

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (CAS 96-47-9) is a cyclic ether and a derivative of tetrahydrofuran (THF). It features a five-membered ring structure with one oxygen atom and four carbon atoms, with a methyl group attached to the second carbon. This compound is a colorless liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a pleasant, ether-like odor. It is known for its relatively low viscosity and high solvency power, making it an effective solvent for various organic compounds. 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran is miscible with water and many organic solvents, which enhances its utility in chemical processes. It has gained attention as a potential green solvent due to its renewable production from biomass and lower toxicity compared to traditional solvents. Additionally, it has applications in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, particularly in reactions requiring a polar aprotic solvent. Its boiling point is higher than that of THF, which can be advantageous in certain applications. However, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care due to flammability and potential health effects upon exposure.

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran - Stabilized with BHT

CAS: 96-47-9

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran is a chemical compound that is used as a photochemical catalyst in organic synthesis. It has been used as a solid catalyst for the hydroxylation of coumarin derivatives, and has also been shown to be an effective precursor in the synthesis of dyes and pharmaceuticals. The kinetic data of this reaction are well-established and are available in the literature. 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran is not toxic to humans, but it can cause kidney fibrosis when given intravenously at high doses. This toxicity can be reduced by adding BHT to the solvent mixture.
