Usage

General Description

Tetrahydrofurfuryl methanesulfonate, also known as THFMS, is a chemical compound used as a solvent, corrosion inhibitor, and stabilizer in various industrial processes. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sweet odor and is soluble in water and most organic solvents. THFMS is commonly used in the production of polyurethane coatings, resins, and adhesives, as well as in the formulation of cleaning products and metalworking fluids. Its unique properties make it an effective additive for preventing corrosion and improving the stability and shelf life of certain formulations. Additionally, THFMS has been identified as a potential replacement for traditional solvents with known environmental and health hazards, making it an attractive option for industries looking to reduce their environmental impact.

Synthesis and Characterization of bis(Tetrahydrofurfuryl) Ether

Despite the availability of a large number of alkyl tetrahydrofurfuryl ethers that have a wide range of applications, pure bis(tetrahydrofurfuryl) ether (BTHFE) has not been previously synthesized. Here, we report the synthesis of BTHFE (consisting of the RR, SS, and meso stereoisomers) at greater than 99 % purity from tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, using (tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl methanesulfonate as an intermediate. Additionally, we demonstrate that BTHFE can be used as a non-volatile solvent in poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene)-based supercapacitors. Supercapacitor devices employing solutions of the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidizolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide in BTHFE display similar performances to those prepared by using the neat ionic liquid as an electrolyte, although solution-based devices exhibit a somewhat higher resistance.

Method for the synthesis and purification of ethers

Methods of synthesizing and purifying ethers are described. The synthesis and purification are achieved using an etherification technique followed by one or two fractional distillations. The etherification utilizes an element having low work function properties. Examples of low work function elements include, but are not limited to, metals or their hydrides, such as sodium, lithium or potassium or some combination thereof. This technique yields ethers of greater than 90% purity.

HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUNDS FOR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF VIRAL INFECTIONS

6-substituted-3-substituted-3H-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one and 6-substituted-2-substituted-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine novel compounds are useful in the treatment of viral infection, in particular cytomegalovirus viral infection. The substituents are independently selected from alkyl, aryl, alkenyl and alkynyl. The preferred substituent at the 6 position is alkyl.
