At a glance for your formula

IFC supplies 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as a bio-based process solvent for extraction and pharmaceutical synthesis, including organometallic chemistry. The supplier describes process advantages relative to THF, such as water separation and possible reaction-yield improvements. These are application-dependent comparisons rather than universal drop-in guidance. The offered specification includes an inhibitor, so water, peroxide content, stabiliser and process compatibility should be checked when evaluating this source.

Grade-specific screening values have not been recorded. Consult the selected supplier’s technical reference.

IFC 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran; CAS 96-47-9

International Furan Chemicals (IFC) · Supplier-reported · Awaiting human review

Listed claims

  • Manufacturer describes a bio-based solvent with purity >=99.9%, BHT 150-400 ppm and water <=0.03%.

Suggested applications

  • Pharmaceutical process solvent
  • Organometallic synthesis
  • Grignard reactions
  • Extraction processes

Sustainability highlights

  • Manufacturer describes the solvent as bio-based.
  • Supplier positions it as an alternative to conventional process solvents
  • lifecycle savings were not established here.

Performance highlights

  • Water azeotrope is presented as a separation advantage.
  • Higher reaction yields are supplier claimed for some Grignard processes.

Grade scope & review questions

  • Manufacturer product page checked on 2026-11-03; exact CAS 96-47-9 and document links are listed. Technical product values remain in existing workbook columns.
  • Gap: Current regional SDS and renewable-content evidence require confirmation.
  • Gap: No universal THF/DCM replacement ratio or reduction in solvent quantity established.
  • CAS 96-47-9 identifies the underlying chemical. It does not establish commercial-grade purity, stabilizers, renewable origin or batch composition.
