2-Furanol, tetrahydro-, 2-acetate, also known as tetrahydro-2-furanyl acetate, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure that has been saturated to form a tetrahydrofuran derivative. This compound features an acetate functional group, which contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant, sweet odor, making it of interest in flavor and fragrance applications. The presence of the furan ring imparts unique chemical properties, including potential reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. It is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. The compound is often used in the synthesis of various organic materials and may exhibit biological activity, although specific toxicological data should be consulted for safety assessments. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety and stability.

Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl acetate is a pyrimidine nucleoside that inhibits the activity of cytidine deaminase, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of DNA. It has been shown to induce apoptosis in vivo and inhibit tumor growth in vitro. Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl acetate is also an anti-viral agent and has anti-cancer properties both in vitro and in vivo. The compound is found as two stereoisomers: R-(+) and S-(−). In vitro studies have shown that R-(+) isomer was more potent than the S-(−) isomer against pancreatic cancer cells, while the opposite was seen for breast cancer cells.
