Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetrahydrofuran
DescriptionTetrahydrofuran, also known as 1,4-epoxybutane or butylene oxide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydrofurans. These are heterocyclic compounds containing a saturated, aliphatic, five-membered ring where a carbon is replaced by an oxygen. Tetrahydrofuran exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
