Thiophene is a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing a sulfur heteroatom with the molecular formula C4H4S. Thiophene is aromatic and is very similar to benzene; electrophilic substitution reaction is easier than benzene, and it is mainly substituted at the 2-position. Thiophene ring system has certain stability to oxidant.
Oxadiazoles are a class of heterocyclic aromatic compounds with the molecular formula C2H2N2O, which have special biological activities and thermodynamic properties. Five-membered heterocyclic moieties composed of three or two heteroatoms are of great interest to researchers because these compounds show significant therapeutic potential. These heterocycles can serve as a building block for the development of novel molecular structures.
Tetrahydrofuran is a heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C4H8O. Tetrahydrofuran belongs to ethers and is the complete hydrogenation product of furan. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with small viscosity at normal temperature and pressure. Because of its long liquid range, it is a commonly used medium polar aprotic solvent. Its main use is as a precursor of high molecular polymers.
