Abstract

Scheme 1. Selected cross-dehydrogenative CÀ O bond formation between alcohols and tetrahydrofuran.

Controlled growth of organic 2D layered material thin filmsviainterfacial methods

“…[130][131][132][133] And, membrane samples with a thickness of at least tens or hundreds mm are mostly obtained by filtration and widely applied in the field of separation. [134][135][136][137] The focus of this feature article is on the recent advances in the controllable growth of organic 2D layered material thin films via interfacial synthesis methods. In the last few years, much progress has been made in the realm of establishing new synthetic strategies.…”

Photo/Electrochemical‐Mediated C(sp3)−H Bond Functionalization of (Thio)Ethers

“…In 2021, Patureau's group reported an electrochemical method for C(sp 3 )À H/OÀ H CDC between alcohols and tetrahydrofuran (Scheme 34a). [43] The OÀ H/CÀ H cross-coupling be- tween various functionalized alcohols and THF was achieved, and electrons were acquired at the cathode, resulting in hydrogen gas release. The reaction is notable for its mildness, efficiency, environmental friendliness, and strong functional group compatibility.…”

Catalytic Conversion of Levulinic Acid into 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran: A Review

“…Additionally, it finds application as a solvent in various electrochemical techniques for redox reactions [ 80 , 81 ], electrodeposition, and electroplating processes [ 82 ]. 2-MTHF is also used in redox flow batteries, contributing to more efficient and cost-effective energy storage solutions [ 83 ], and as a reaction medium for electrochemical synthesis of organic compounds due to its favorable properties [ 84 ]. In the polymer industry, 2-MTHF serves as a versatile solvent for polymerization, contributing to the production of elastomers and thermoplastic polyurethanes [ 85 ].…”
