It is one of the most polar ethers and is a widely used solvent for polar reagents. Since THF is very soluble in water and has a relatively low boiling point, significant amounts are often released into the environment, causing contamination problems. biological_process tetrahydrofuran metabolic process THF metabolic process UM-BBD_pathwayID:thf tetrahydrofuran metabolism GO:0018968 epoxide metabolic process
