| titleOfInvention | Preparation of 3-methyltetrahydrofuran from 2,3-dihydrofuran |
| abstract | Disclosed is a two-step process wherein (1) 2,3-dihydrofuran is reacted with a trialkyl orthoformate in the presence of an acidic catalyst to produce a 2-alkoxy-3-(dialkoxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran intermediate and (2) the intermediate is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a Group VIII noble metal or rhenium and a strong acid to convert the intermediate to a mixture of 3-methyltetrahydrofuran (3-MeTHF) and 3-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran (3-HOMeTHF). The 3-MeTHF produced in accordance with the present invention is useful as an industrial solvent and as a co-monomer in the manufacture of polymers such as elastomers. 3-HOMeTHF may be used as a solvent and in the manufacture of pharmaceutical and agricultural chemicals and acrylate and methacrylate esters for use in preparing polymers such as polyacrylates. |
