Accession:GO:0018968 term browser browse the term
Definition:The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of tetrahydrofuran, a cyclic 4 carbon ether. It is one of the most polar ethers and is a widely used solvent for polar reagents. Since THF is very soluble in water and has a relatively low boiling point, significant amounts are often released into the environment, causing contamination problems.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: THF metabolic process;   THF metabolism;   tetrahydrofuran metabolism
 broad_synonym: tetrahydrofuran metabolic process
 xref: UM-BBD_pathwayID:thf
