About Tetrahydrofuran
A water-miscible cyclic ether with strong aprotic solvation, used for organometallic chemistry, polymer dissolution, and PVC cement. Like diethyl ether it forms peroxides on storage; commercial material is inhibited and tested before distillation, which prevents most laboratory explosions.
