China and the United States are the leading exporters of 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (CAS 96-47-9), accounting for the majority of global shipments, while Germany, South Korea, and Japan represent the largest importing markets. Imports into the European Union and East Asia have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth observed in semiconductor and pharmaceutical end-use sectors influencing demand and 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran prices.
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) is a clear, colorless, volatile liquid with a mild, ethereal odor. It is a cyclic ether and classified as an organic solvent and chemical intermediate. With a boiling point of approximately 80 °C and limited miscibility with water, it exhibits favorable solvation properties for organometallic reagents and polar substrates. Industrially, 2-MeTHF is widely employed as a greener alternative to traditional ethers (e.g., THF, diethyl ether) in cross-coupling reactions, Grignard chemistry, and hydride reductions. Its primary applications span pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical manufacturing, and fine chemical production—particularly where enhanced stability, easier separation, or improved reaction selectivity is required.
Chemical intermediate, reaction solvent.
Colorless liquid; ether-like odor. Solubility in waterincreases with a decrease in temperature. Freelysoluble in most organic solvents.
