Description

General description

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is a non-carcinogenic, biodegradable, protic solvent.

Application

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) is a solvent modifier for sodium borohydride used in enantioselective reduction of aromatic imines or ketones to the corresponding alcohols.
It can be used to synthesize tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate, tetrahydrofurfuryl propionate and tetrahydrofurfuryl butyrate, which are used as flavoring agents in food industry.
Application of THFA as a solvent for water-based colorants; coupling solvent for agricultural formulations such as pesticides, fungicides and herbicides; plasticizer for paints and varnishes are reported.
