2-Tetrahydrofuroic acid Usage

2-Tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylicacid (2-THFA) can be split into (R)-2-THFA and (S)-2-THFA. Chiral 2-tetrahydrofurancarboxylicacid is an important ligand synthon in asymmetric synthesis reactions. Among them, (R)-2-THFA is an important intermediate for the synthesis of the antibiotic furopenem, which can be used as an antagonist of the antigen VLA-4, and is also a chiral resolution agent for an important intermediate of the super flu drug Xofluza; (S)-2-THFA is the main raw material for the preparation of the chiral auxiliary (S)-acetyltetrahydrofuran, a raw material for the preparation of cephalosporin antibiotic intermediates, and an important intermediate for the preparation of the hormone LHRH that stimulates hormone release.
