	Process for the preparation of tetrahydrofuran - Patent 4271081
		Tetrahydrofuran is prepared by reacting a 1,4-dihalobutane such as 1,4-dichlorobutane with water in the presence of a strong acid.
		Tetrahydrofuran is a cyclic ether finding wide and substantial use as a solvent for natural and synthetic resins, especially the vinyl resins, in coatings, adhesives, printing inks, as a chemical intermediate and as a monomer.
		Tetrahydrofuran has been prepared via the catalytic hydrogenation of furan, from the reaction of acetylene and formaldehyde and from the dehydrocyclization of 1,4-butanediol or dehydrochlorocyclization of 4-chloro-1-butanol.

	Multi-step process for preparation of tetrahydrofuran starting from propylene, oxygen and a carboxylic acid - Patent ...
		It is known in the art that tetrahydrofuran may be made by a number of different methods; the more prominent methods are by the catalytic hydrogenation of furan or by the dehydration of 1,4-butanediol.
		In practice, the tetrahydrofuran is most often produced by a series of reactions starting with the reaction of formaldehyde and acetylene in the presence of a cuprous acetylide complex to form butynediol.
		In carrying out the preparation of tetrahydrofuran starting from propylene, oxygen and a carboxylic acid, the procedures disclosed in copending applications A and B may be used to obtain the carboxylic acid esters of 1,4-butanediol.

	Tetrahydrofuran
		Effects on Humans: Tetrahydrofuran is a central nervous system depressant in humans; based on effects seen in animals, it may also cause irritation of the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract and liver and kidney damage.
		Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to tetrahydrofuran, the examining physician should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
		Tetrahydrofuran also may be disposed of in an organometallic or organic lab pack that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 264.316 or 265.316.

	Synthesis of tetrahydrofuran polymers using calcined silica-alumina or beaching earth catalysts - Patent 5210283
		Tetrahydrofuran is polymerized in the presence of a carboxylic acid anhydride and a solid acid catalyst that has been calcined at a temperature greater than about 600.degree.
		A process for producing a tetrahydrofuran polymer, said process comprising polymerizing tetrahydrofuran in the presence of a carboxylic acid anhydride and an effective amount of a solid acid catalyst selected from the group consisting of amorphous silica-aluminas and acid-washed bleaching earths, wherein the catalyst is calcined at a temperature greater than about 600.degree.
		In the process of the invention, a tetrahydrofuran polymer having a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution is produced by polymerizing THF and optionally other monomers in the presence of a carboxylic acid anhydride and a calcined solid acid catalyst selected from the group consisting of amorphous silica-alumina and acid-washed bleaching earths.
