Tetrahydrofurfurylamine

2-Tetrahydrofurfurylamine (2TF) is an organic compound that belongs to the class of inorganic acids. It is a reactive and light-emitting molecule that has been used as a substrate molecule in molecular docking analysis. 2TF is also used as a reactive intermediate in the preparation of detergents. The reaction mechanism involves the formation of an ethylene diamine by nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl group, followed by oxidative addition of the hydroxyl group to the nitrogen atom. This process leads to the formation of a coordination complex with a geometry that favours two nitrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms, which are further coordinated by four carbon atoms. 2TF can be found in several infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and leprosy, where it has been shown to inhibit cell growth through inhibition of protein synthesis and DNA replication.
