Application

Tetrahydrofuran may find application as a solvent in the synthesis of (S)-2-(1-pyrrolidinylmethyl)pyrrolidine. It is also an excellent solvent for sodium diisopropylamide, which can find applications as an effective base for the isomerization of alkenes and metalation of 1,4-dienes.

Tetrahydrofuran may be used as an extraction solvent for the determination of pesticide residues in olive oil and phthalates in toys and child care articles by chromatography techniques.
