Tetrahydrofuran 180 kg

Tetrahydrofuran 180 kg is a chemical substance, a representative of cyclic ethers, a popular polar aprotic solvent of considerable importance for organic synthesis. Outwardly, it is a volatile liquid that has no color. The smell is characteristic of ethers.

The chemical formula is (CH2)4O.

Where is it applied?

In the chemical industry, where it acts as a solvent and research environment for a large number of different reactions.

As a solvent for PVC, instead of sulfuric ether in laboratories, for the synthesis of γ-butyrolactone. It often acts as an anti-crystallization additive for aircraft and rocket fuels. It is invaluable in the synthesis of synthetic resin, copolymers with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Copolymerization products are raw materials for the production of urethane rubbers.

In the pharmaceutical industry in the manufacture of therapeutic, primarily antibacterial drugs.

Purification of THF. The use of this substance as a solvent and a long period of storage may cause the need for additional cleaning for further use in the proper form.

As a solvent for industrial PVC and varnishes.

In the laboratory, as it mixes with water without any problems. It forms complexes with Li+, Mg2+ and boranes. THF is an ideal solvent for hydroboration reactions and the synthesis of organometallic compounds such as organolithium and Grignard reagents.

For dissolving polymers. For example, it can be used to dissolve polymers in order to determine their molecular weight using gel permeation chromatography. THF dissolves PVC and thus is the main ingredient in PVC adhesives. It is often used in industry as a degreaser for metal parts.

As a component for mobile phases in reverse phase liquid chromatography.
