General description

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran is an environmentally favorable alternative to tetrahydrofuran (THF), 1,4 Dioxane (Dioxane) and dichloromethane (DCM) for most industrial applications.

  • Many of its benefits include:
  • High boiling point
  • Clean organic-water phase separation
  • Reduced energy to recover

Application

  • Alternative for THF in Organometallic reactions:
  • Grignard
  • Reformantsky
  • Lithiation
  • Hydride Reduction
  • Metal-Catalyzed Coupling (Heck, Stile, Suzuki)

Alternative to Dichloromethane for Biphasic Reactions:

  • Alkylation
  • Amidation
  • Nucleophilic Substitution

Forms organic (non-crystalline) glass for low temperature (-196°C) spectroscopic studies.
