Tetrahydrofuran

Tetrahydrofuran is a colourless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is used as a precursor to polymers and is a versatile solvent. It is frequently used as a solvent in pharmaceutical synthetic procedures because of its broad solvency for polar and non-polar compounds. In many cases, it makes higher yields and faster reaction rates possible. Its high volatility and purity ease solvent removal without leaving residues in the end product.
