2-Tetrahydrofuroic acid（Cat No.:R060976）is a saturated heterocyclic carboxylic acid derived from tetrahydrofuran, featuring a carboxyl group at the 2-position of the ring. Its structure combines the stability and hydrophilicity of a carboxylic acid with the conformational flexibility of a tetrahydrofuran ring. This compound is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its ring system mimics sugar moieties and natural metabolites, making it useful in designing bioactive molecules, enzyme inhibitors, and building blocks for peptidomimetics or heterocyclic compound libraries.
