6. Preparation of 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran can also be produced starting from levulinic acid. Cyclization and reduction gives γ-valerolactone


This lactone can be hydrogenated to 1,4-pentanediol, which can then be dehydrated to give 2-methyltetrahydrofuran


7. Use of 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran
2-Methyltetrahydrofuran is mainly used as solvents for resin, rubber, ethyl cellulose.And it also can be used as for the synthesis of anti-disease drugs such as Primaquine Phosphate in the pharmaceutical industry.
