2-Butyltetrahydrofuran（Cat No.:M069763）is a saturated, five-membered heterocyclic ether with the chemical formula C₈H₁₆O, featuring a tetrahydrofuran (THF) ring substituted with a butyl group at the 2-position. It is a colorless liquid with moderate volatility and a mild, ether-like odor. The presence of the butyl group increases its hydrophobicity and alters its solvent properties compared to unsubstituted THF. It is used as a solvent or intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions requiring aprotic and slightly polar media. Due to its flammability and potential health effects, it should be handled with appropriate safety measures.
