Tetrahydrofuran (THF) HPLC is a clear, colorless liquid with an odor reminiscent of ether. It is an organic compound that is miscible with water, characterized by the chemical formula (CH2)4O. This compound falls under the category of heterocyclic compounds, specifically classified as a cyclic ether. To prevent the formation of organic peroxides during prolonged storage, THF is typically stabilized through the addition of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which acts to eliminate the free radicals necessary for peroxide development. Alternative names for tetrahydrofuran include butylene oxide, oxolane, and tetramethylene oxide.
