| 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, […]
