What are the properties of Tetrahydrofuran(THF) CAS:109-99-9?
Physical Properties:
- Boiling Point: 66 °C
- Melting Point: -108.5 °C
- Density: 0.889 g/cm³ (20 °C)
- Solubility: Fully miscible with water and many organic solvents
- Volatility: High vapor pressure, evaporates easily
Chemical Properties:
THF is generally chemically stable but can form explosive peroxides upon exposure to light or air. It acts as a weak Lewis base and can react with acids. Its cyclic structure allows it to undergo ring-opening reactions in the presence of acid or base catalysts, forming derivatives such as 1,4-butanediol.
