Application

(R)-Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol can be used:
  • To prepare (R)-tetrahydrofurfuryl aldehyde, which is employed as a building block to synthesize a fragment of pectenotoxin-4.
  • As a starting material to synthesize naftidrofuryl isomers, used as potent 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor antagonists.
  • As a building block for the preparation of (S)-2-tetrahydrofuran methyl ether 6-fluorophenyl ether analog, as an IGF-1R inhibitor.
