Description

2,3-Dihydrofuran is a versatile reagent used in lanthanide-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions with 2-pyrones and in Rh(II)-stabilized cycloadditions with vinylcarbenoids. It is applied for alkylation by active methylene compounds, catalyzed by trans-Dichlorobis(triphenyl­phosphine)­palladium(II). It is also used in the preparation of biologically active compounds such as antitumor agents.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
