ILPT found somewhere bottle of THF which is very good solvent. It dissolving many things well has a fairly low boiling point and evaporating rather quickly. Question is for what extraction it would be suitable. Can any chemist bring some inputs please? As a kemist I never met ILPT in physical form and never talk to him. He share his wisdom, trough my mind, telepathicly only. Please don`t prosecute me, for his possible illegal activities. He is bonkers about chemistry and doesn`t even exist in this primitive reality !!!

No chemist, but I believe THF can be very dangerous- ie. death- in the wrong hands. mistakes were made

There were somr myths about it concerning hepatotoxicity but then I couldn`t find anythhig to backup this worries like wiki entry claiming THF is relatively safe wiki wrote:THF is considered a relatively nontoxic solvent, with the median lethal dose (LD50) comparable to that for acetone. Reflecting its remarkable solvent properties, it penetrates the skin causing rapid dehydration. THF readily dissolves latex and is typically handled with nitrile or neoprene rubber gloves. It is highly flammable.
The greatest danger posed by THF follows from its tendency to form highly-explosive peroxides on storage in air. To minimize this problem, commercial samples of THF are often inhibited with BHT. THF should not be distilled to dryness, because the explosive peroxides concentrate in the residue. As a kemist I never met ILPT in physical form and never talk to him.

yes it is miscible with water. it's a polar solvent THF is fairly safe, just don't drink it (obviously) if ILPT can get it, use toluene as the nonpolar solvent "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." ~ hassan i sabbah

Make THF into GBL then drink it instead

Well he was thinking to pull from semiwet stb using calcium hydroxide as base and dry with epsom. He is keen what sort of jungle he will dig out. He ran out of dcm and wanna stay out of chlorinated but the everdissolving power of dcm is hard to substitute with nonchlorinated solvents. THF seemed to be a good adept  As a kemist I never met ILPT in physical form and never talk to him. He share his wisdom, trough my mind, telepathicly only.
