What is the function of tetrahydrofuran?

Tetrahydrofuran can dissolve organic or inorganic substances and is widely used in chemicals or coatings. It can also be used in dyes.
Tetrahydrofuran is an important organic synthetic raw material and a solvent with excellent performance. It is especially suitable for dissolving PVC, polyvinylidene chloride and butylaniline. It is also used to make synthetic fibers, synthetic resins, synthetic rubber, and many polymer materials and precision tapes. and solvents for the electroplating industry.
In the pharmaceutical industry, tetrahydrofuran can be used to produce Kebiqing, progesterone, rifomycin and as a pharmaceutical solvent.
Tetrahydrofuran itself can be polycondensed (repolymerized by ring-opening initiated by cations) into polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), also known as tetrahydrofuran homopolyether. PTMEG and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) are made into special rubber that is wear-resistant, oil-resistant, has good low-temperature performance and high strength.

1.4-Butanediol

1.4-Butanediol (chemical formula: HOCH2CH2CH2CH2OH) is one of the isomers of butanediol, a terminal dihydroxy substituent of butane, which is a colorless, viscous liquid at room temperature. Industrially, BDO is produced by allowing acetylene to react with two molecules of formaldehyde to form BDO, which is then hydrogenated. BDO can also be obtained by gas-phase hydrogenation of anhydrides.
