Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a cyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C4H8O. It is a clear, colourless, and highly flammable liquid with a faint, ether-like odour. THF is a heterocyclic ether, meaning that it contains an oxygen atom in its ring structure.

THF is a versatile solvent and is commonly used in organic chemistry as a reaction medium and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. Its unique structure allows it to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds, making it a popular choice in chemical synthesis and industrial applications.

In addition to its uses as a solvent, THF is also used in the production of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), a polyurethane precursor. It is also used as a starting material for the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, such as antimalarials and antibiotics.

THF is highly flammable and can pose a fire hazard if not handled properly. It is also known to be a skin irritant and can cause respiratory irritation if inhaled in large quantities. Therefore, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling and storing THF.
