•Dimerization of benzyl and allyl substrates is suppressed
MeTHF is not only an innovative product but at the same time it is an innovation enabler for the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry.
I hope that our presentation will convince you that this is in fact the case.
2-METHYLTETRAHYDROFURAN
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran: Simply Better than Tetrahydrofuran
Dr. Bogdan Comanita , Penn Specialty Chemicals, Inc.
Introduction
Penn Specialty Chemicals Inc. has been a leader in furan chemistry for more than 60 years,

MeTHF: Easy solvent re-use & recycling
• Advantages from physical properties
THF Work-up has problems:
• THF is water miscible • Work-up alternatives for THF reactions:
– Add a hydrophobic solvent for phase separation
MeTHF is a furan derivative made from renewable resources with considerable advantages over THF.
MeTHF is a rapidly emerging global solvent market and Penn is spearheading the commercialization of this solvent.

MeTHF Safety: Peroxide Formation
– Doesn’t work for polar compounds – Poor product recovery-second extraction needed – End-up with mixtures of solvents

Improved Process: chemical properties
Less impurities under acidic conditions:
– less solvent degradation @ acidic aqueous work-up – better stability to Lewis acids

Agenda
• MeTHF is the solution to THF’s shortcomings:
1. MeTHF is not miscible with water 2. Clean phase separation with no emulsions & rag layers 3. Reduced number of extraction steps 4. Easy to dry (forms azeotrope like toluene) 5. Easy to recycle and reuse
MeTHF Improves Processes
• Advantages from chemical properties
– Increased reaction yields – Increased solubility of organogrignards – Less impurities due to higher solvent stability
– Increased solvent volumes – Hard to recycle solvent mixtures (separation difficult) – Persistent emulsions and rag layers
– Add saline solution for phase separation
