MTHP : The solvent for a more sustainable chemistry
5' reading time
CARLO ERBA Reagents offers you an excellent substitute to THF or 2-MeTHF: MTHP (4-Methyltetrahydropyran).
This hydrophobic cyclic ether is suitable for many reactions (Grignard reactions, LAH reduction, cross coupling, etc).
| What are the main benefits of this solvent? | |
Easily separable from water: recyclable, no extraction solvent needed... It simplifies your manufacturing process. | |
Similar solubility to THF: it can therefore dissolve polar compounds | |
| |
MTHP is stable towards auto-oxidation. It also means that it is easier to store and recycle.
| |
MTHP is a robust molecule and can be used under severe conditions in reactions such as esterification and acetalization with an acidic catalyst, cationic polymerization using acid chlorides, reduction with LAH, […]
