Description
Application
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is suitable for HPLC spectrophotometry and environmental testing. It is also used as a solvent for dissolving poly--caprolactone (PCL) and 13-diaminopentane during the preparation of PCLhydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds and acrylate-terminated C3213-diaminopentane polymers respectively.
Purpose
Its primary purpose stems from moderate polarity low boiling point for easy removal and ability to dissolve diverse compounds enabling efficient extractions syntheses and polymer processing while forming peroxides if unstabilized.
General Description
Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a widely used solvent and a key structural component in various natural products including polyether antibiotics. It can form a double hydrate with hydrogen sulfide whose crystal structure has been studied using three-dimensional single-crystal analysis. Butane-14-diol acts as an intermediate in THF synthesis and hot THF is particularly effective for dissolving polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC).
