tetrahydrofuran breakdown
« on: September 02, 2006, 06:17:46 AM »
tetrahydrofuran C4H8O forms peroxides on storage, if not stored correctly.THF should not be distilled to dryness, which could leave residues of explosive peroxides.
My question is, how does it form peroxides upon breakdown and what else is it broke down into?
