2,3-Dihydrofuran is a heterocyclic compound with the formula C4H6O. It is isomeric with 2,5-dihydrofuran. 2,3-Dihydrofuran is one of the simplest enol ethers. It is a colorless volatile liquid.

Reactions[edit]

It undergoes lithiation upon treatment with butyl lithium. The resulting 2-lithio derivative is a versatile intermediate.[2][3]

Synthesis and occurrence[edit]

2,3-Dihydrofurans are intermediates in the Feist–Benary synthesis of furans from α-halogen ketones and β-dicarbonyl compounds.[4]

The 2,3-dihydrofuran ring can be synthesized by several methods. These routes usually involve cyclization or cycloaddition reactions of carbonyl compounds using metal-containing catalysts.[5][6] Iodine can also serve as a catalyst[7] as well as Raney nickel.[8]
