Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a chemical intermediate used in the manufacture of polymers as well as agricultural, pharmaceutical, and commodity chemicals. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is an organic solvent and belongs to the class of (cyclic) ethers. It is a colourless, water-miscible liquid with an ether-like odour. THF is used as a solvent of intermediate polarity for organic substances and as a reaction medium or starting material for various syntheses.
Tetrahydrofuran, or oxolane, is an organic compound with the formula₄O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound, specifically a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. Being polar and having a wide liquid range, THF is a versatile solvent.

THF is classified under the Japanese Fire Services Act as a hazardous material, Class 4, Petroleums No.1, water soluble, Hazardous Rank II. Since it is highly volatile and flammable, the storage container should be tightly sealed and stored in a well-ventilated place. When handling take precautions against fire. Like other ethers, explosive peroxides will be generated if THF is exposed to oxygen or air. For this reason the container should be sealed with dry nitrogen.
THF is irritating to the membranes and skin of the eyes, nose, and throat. Exposure to the vapor for long time periods may cause organic solvent poisoning symptoms such as nausea and dizziness. Use adequate ventilation to avoid high concentrations of vapor. When using or handling, always use proper safety equipment such as protective gloves and goggles.
