CAS 109-99-9 Tetrahydrofuran, commonly known as THF, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a distinct ether-like odor. It has the chemical formula C4H8O and is highly soluble in water and most organic solvents. THF is an important industrial solvent and is widely used in various applications.
What are the benefits of THF?
-
Excellent Solvency: It dissolves a wide range of polar and non-polar organic compounds.
-
Water-Miscibility: It is miscible with water, which is useful for certain extractions and reactions.
-
Good Coordination Ability: Its oxygen atom can solvate cations (e.g., Li⁺, Mg²⁺), making it ideal for organometallic chemistry.
-
Low Boiling Point: It can be easily removed by evaporation after a reaction is complete.
