Abstract
1. The cleavage of tetrahydrofuran (THF) by acetyl bromide does not require catalysis using hydrogen bromide or other acid. 2. Acetic anhydride is capable of cleaving certain compounds of the THF series under the catalytic influence not only of mineral acids, but also of weaker donors of protons, namely organic acids. 3. The cleavage of the tetrahydrofuran ring in 2-phenyl-tetrahydrofuran using acetyl bromide goes with the formation of only one structural isomer. The action of acid halides on tetrahydrofurfuryl acetate and tetrahydrofurfuryl halides leads to a mixture of isomers.
