Description
- General description: Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a saturated cyclic ether mainly used as an organic solvent. On long term storage it forms organic peroxides. This process can be suppressed by adding butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as a stabilizer. BHT removes the free radicals required for the peroxide formation. It constitutes the key fragment of various natural products (polyether antibiotics).[1] THF forms double hydrate with hydrogen sulfide, crystal structure of this double hydrate has been investigated by three-dimensional single-crystal studies.[2]
- Application: Dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) has been used in the synthesis of dichloro{bis[1,1′,1′′-(phosphinetriyl)tripiperidine]}palladium [(P(NC5H10)3)2Pd(Cl)2], which is widely used in the Heck reaction as a catalyst. It has been employed in the reaction medium of the Heck cross-coupling reaction of various aryl bromides and olefins.[3]

- Other Notes: Greener alternatives are available for many THF applications, 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (414247) and Cyclopentyl methyl ether (675970)
