Russian JOC
« on: April 09, 2018, 08:39:56 PM »
Does anyone know what the acronym for a solvent "T.Γ.Φ." in Russian stands for (TJP in eng)?

The only Russian chemist in the department doesn't understand what the acronym stands for, so any help would be appreciated.

Do you have an example preparation - (I mean, it won't necessarily be ethanol if you're working with Grignards, for instance)?

Maybe tetrahydrofuran (THF)? Russian often represents H in foreign words as G (e.g. Hitler is Gitler, which seems strangely appropriate).

Edit: My Russian colleague says it's THF.

extraction of a polar thioaminal from a solution of dioxane, and the authors state TJP was used as the extraction solvent

THF, no doubt about it.

Go to wikipedia THF page, choose Russian version (Тетрагидрофуран), just below the structural formula on the right there is a line saying "Сокращения ТГФ, THF" - cокращения means "abbreviations".
