tetrahydrofuran2carboxaldehyde
Tetrahydrofuran, commonly abbreviated THF, is a five-membered cyclic ether (C4H8O). It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a distinctive ether-like odor. THF is a polar aprotic solvent with good solvating ability for both inorganic salts and many polymers, and it has a relatively high boiling point for an ether.
Industrial production of THF typically involves catalytic hydrogenation of furfural- or furan-derived feedstocks, often obtained from
In manufacturing and laboratory settings, THF is widely used as a solvent for polymerization reactions and
Safety: THF is highly flammable and should be used with adequate ventilation away from ignition sources. It
