Description

General description

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is one of the aroma constituents of coffee.

Application

• Electrochemical oxidation of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol on boron-doped diamond anode: Influence of current density and electrolyte solution.: Research into the electrochemical pathways of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol offers insights into its potential for energy storage applications, focusing on how varying electrical and solvent conditions affect its oxidation rates (Xiong Y et al., 2023).


• Polar-Functionalized Polyethylenes Enabled by Palladium-Catalyzed Copolymerization of Ethylene and Butadiene/Bio-Based Alcohol-Derived Monomers.: This paper presents a novel approach to the synthesis of functionalized polymers using tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol derivatives, which could revolutionize materials science with new, sustainable polymer blends (Jian Z et al., 2023).
