3-Methyltetrahydrofuran (3-MeTHF) is a bio-based, polar aprotic solvent known for its excellent solvency, higher boiling point, and reduced peroxide formation compared to tetrahydrofuran (THF). Derived from renewable sources like furfural, it offers a greener alternative for various chemical processes.

Widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, 3-MeTHF also finds application in battery electrolytes, polymer production, specialty coatings, and extraction processes. Its limited water miscibility and broad solvent range make it a preferred choice in sustainable chemistry and high-performance formulations.
