General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product is a biorenewable and thus aligns with "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries" and "Use of Renewable Feedstocks". Click here for more information.
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF), a 2-methyl substituted tetrahydrofuran, is a biomass derived solvent. It is a potential greener solvent alternative for organic synthesis. It shows resistance to reduction by lithium making it a promising candidate as electrolytes in lithium batteries. Its polarity and Lewis base strength is intermediate between tetrahydrofuran (THF) and diethyl ether. The ring opening reaction of 2-MTHF has been studied using acid chloride and iodide.

Application

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran may be used as a solvent for phosphatidylserine synthesis.
It may be used as an alternative solvent to:
  • Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in the C-C bond forming reactions catalyzed by lyase enzyme.
  • Tetrahydrofuran (THF) in the reaction between Grignard reagents and carbonyl compounds.
  • Methylene chloride in some biphasic reactions.

Fractionation of lignocellulose into its three main components, lignin, hemicelluloses, and cellulose, is a common approach in modern biorefinery concepts. Whereas the valorization of hemicelluloses and cellulose sugars has been widely discussed in literature, lignin utilization is still challenging. Due

We observe structural recovery after an electric field step by probing the dielectric loss profile near its maximum, which displays a field-induced shift towards lower frequencies. These dynamics display time aging-time superposition (TaTS) for the majority of relaxation modes, thus
