The electrochemical oxidation of tetrahydrofuran in sulphuric acid solution

The electrochemical behaviour of THF on Pt in H 2SO 4 using cyclic voltammetry was examined. The products were identified with GC–MS. The two basic products were found to be γ-butyrolactone and 2-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran with current efficiencies up to 54.4 and 41.2% correspondingly. In addition, the...

Zusammenfassung:The electrochemical behaviour of THF on Pt in H 2SO 4 using cyclic voltammetry was examined. The products were identified with GC–MS. The two basic products were found to be γ-butyrolactone and 2-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran with current efficiencies up to 54.4 and 41.2% correspondingly. In addition, the UPD of Tl and Cu were shown to inhibit THF oxidation, since the deposits probably block active sites on the electrode surface.
