Application

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF): A Biomass-Derived Solvent with Broad Application in Organic Chemistry
Commonly used in hydroboration of olefins and as a reductant of carbonyls. 2-Me-THF has shown potential as an environmentally friendly solvent compared to commonly used solvents; e.g. dichloromethane and THF.
For an alternative to Tetrahydrofuran and Dichloromethane, please see: An alternative to Tetrahydrofuran and Dichloromethane
Reactant used as a regioselective reducing agent

Reactant involved in:
  • Hydroboration / oxidation
Synthesis of cage compounds
