2-MeTHF CAS 96-47-9

2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) is a new generation of bio-based solvents derived from renewable, non-edible biomass sources such as corn cobs. With its transparent appearance and mild etheric odour, 2-MeTHF is distinguished by its ability to replace traditional petroleum solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and methylene chloride without compromising performance. In the industrial and pharmaceutical sectors, 2-MeTHF is well known for its compatibility with organometallic reagents and catalytic systems. 2-MeTHF plays a vital role in complex synthesis processes, especially those involving high-value active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), where solvent reliability and purity are essential.

Whether for lab-scale innovation or full-scale production, 2-MeTHF offers future-proof solutions for companies that want to combine operational performance with sustainability goals.

Structural Formula

As a high-performance, environmentally friendly solvent, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran shows excellent performance in organometallic reactions, Grignard reagent systems, petrochemical processes and various catalytic transformations. Its high boiling point, low water solubility and good thermal stability not only facilitate precise control of the reaction, but also facilitate efficient product separation and solvent recovery. For companies seeking to improve production efficiency and reduce overall costs, this is a preferred solvent that combines performance and economy.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, customers are highly focused on key factors such as 'biobased origin' and 'low toxicity'. Our 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, made from renewable resources, is both environmentally friendly and process-adaptable, especially for companies engaged in the synthesis of high-value-added active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), meeting compliance requirements and contributing to a green and sustainable supply chain.

1. Bio-Based & Sustainable

Sourced from renewable biomass, 2-MeTHF aligns with global trends toward green chemistry and sustainable manufacturing, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-derived solvents.

2.Regulatory Compliance

Its lower toxicity and favorable safety profile help manufacturers meet stringent environmental and health regulations (e.g., ICH, REACH), reducing compliance risks.

3.Superior Solvent Performance

Compared to traditional solvents like THF or dichloromethane, 2-MeTHF offers a higher boiling point, lower water miscibility, and excellent solubility for a wide range of compounds, making it ideal for advanced pharmaceutical synthesis.

4.Efficient Solvent Recovery

Its hydrophobic nature and thermal stability enable easier separation and recycling, lowering operational costs and solvent waste in large-scale production.

5.Wide range of application scenarios, market potential continues to expand

In addition to mature applications in the pharmaceutical industry, 2-MeTHF has also shown good suitability in the fields of fine chemicals, agrochemical intermediates, and material science, gradually expanding the boundaries of its commercial applications.
