Description
TCI E0795, 3,4-Epoxytetrahydrofuran with CAS number 285-69-8, is a bicyclic compound that combines a tetrahydrofuran ring with an epoxide ring fused at the three and four positions. Having two oxygen-containing rings within a single small molecule is precisely what makes it a highly sought-after heterocyclic building block in organic synthesis laboratories. The molecule offers a pre-formed oxolane framework together with a reactive site in the form of a strained epoxide, allowing researchers to introduce new functional groups onto a cyclic scaffold in a direct and well-directed manner.
The property that defines its usefulness is the high ring strain of the epoxide. That strain makes the epoxide readily opened by a wide range of nucleophiles — amines, alcohols, thiols, azides, and carbon nucleophiles alike — and the ring opening proceeds with clear regiochemical and stereochemical control, because attack occurs from the opposite face. The result is a tetrahydrofuran motif substituted at the three position bearing a hydroxyl group at the four position, a structural pattern that appears frequently in the design of bioactive compounds, nucleoside analogues, and antiviral drug intermediates. The efficiency of such a route is difficult for alternative approaches to match.
In Indonesian laboratories, this building block is typically used in university and institutional synthetic chemistry groups, in medicinal chemistry programmes exploring nucleoside-like scaffolds, and in pharmaceutical research units preparing intermediates on a research scale. It is generally ordered as a research-quantity reagent for exploratory route development rather than for bulk production, and it is handled alongside standard anhydrous techniques already established in most organic synthesis facilities.
Laboratory Applications
- Nucleophilic ring-opening reactions — the strained epoxide is readily attacked by amines, alcohols, thiols, azides, and carbon nucleophiles, giving predictable regiochemical outcomes in a single synthetic step.
- Synthesis of nucleoside analogues — the pre-formed oxolane framework closely resembles the sugar core of nucleosides, letting researchers build analogue libraries without constructing the ring from scratch.
- Antiviral drug intermediate preparation — the three-substituted, four-hydroxy tetrahydrofuran motif generated on ring opening recurs widely among antiviral intermediates, shortening medicinal chemistry synthetic routes considerably.
- Stereocontrolled functionalisation studies — because nucleophilic attack proceeds from the face opposite the epoxide oxygen, the compound serves as a reliable substrate for teaching and probing stereochemical control.
- Bioactive compound scaffold construction — the combination of an intact heterocyclic ring and one defined reactive point makes it well suited to diversifying lead structures in discovery chemistry programmes.

Handling and Storage
Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and incompatible materials — particularly nucleophiles, acids, and bases, which can initiate ring opening of the strained epoxide. Keep the material in its original manufacturer container, or transfer it to a clean, chemically compatible, tightly sealed vessel; where anhydrous conditions are required, use septum-capped bottles under inert gas. All handling should take place in a functioning fume hood with appropriate personal protective equipment: safety goggles, chemically resistant gloves, and a laboratory coat. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes, and follow the manufacturer's safety data sheet together with local institutional chemical waste procedures for disposal.
