Tetrahydrofuran

CAS NO.:109-99-9

MF:C4H8O

MW:72.11

Nature:It is a colorless, volatile liquid at room temperature with an odor similar to diethyl ether. It is soluble in most organic solvents such as water, ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, and benzene, and is known as a "universal solvent".

Application:Tetrahydrofuran is a highly polar cyclic ether organic solvent with extremely strong dissolving power, compatible with resins, rubbers, oils, and various polymer materials. It is commonly used in the production and formulation of polyurethane, PVC coatings, and adhesives, and also as a thinner for inks and anti-corrosion coatings. In chemical synthesis, it is a common reaction medium for Grignard reactions and polymerization reactions, aiding in the fine synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticides, and fragrances. It can also be used as a highly efficient extractant for material purification and separation, suitable for the precision cleaning industry in electronics. Furthermore, it is a commonly used solvent in lithium batteries and new energy storage materials, exhibiting good chemical stability, a suitable boiling point, and easy recovery and purification. With its broad compatibility and moderate reactivity, it is widely used in numerous fields such as fine chemicals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, new materials, and the electronics industry.
