Manufacturers employ a variety of versatile process solvents in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemical applications. Because of its broad solvency for both polar and non-polar compounds, tetrahydrofuran (THF) is utilized as a solvent in numerous pharmaceutical and fine chemical processes. Tebol 99 high purity tertiary butyl alcohol is an excellent solvent for moderately polar fine chemicals and intermediates. TBAc tertiary butyl acetate is a unique intermediate, as well as a building block solvent for organic synthesis with uses in enolate ion additions and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.
