THP醚引入到一个手性分子的结果是形成了一个非对映体，因为在四氢吡喃环上新增了一个手性中心。（有时它会使NMR谱的表达有点困难）。尽管如此，它仍是有机合成中一个非常有用的保护基团，它的成本低，易于分离，对大多数非质子酸试剂有一定的稳定性，易于纯化。通常情况下，几乎任何酸性试剂或任何可以在原位产生酸的试剂都可被用来引入THP基团。

THP(2-四氢吡喃)保护羟基示例(J.Org.Chem.1977,42,3772)

To a solution of 1 (1.5 g,3.5mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (10 mL) at 22-24^oC wasadded 3,4- dihydro-2H-pyran (0.479 mL, 0.442 g, 5.25mmol) and PPTs (20 mg, 0.08mmol). The solution wasstirred at 22-24^oC for 1 h and diluted with a 100-mL solution of(1:1) diethyl ether and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with H₂O(3 ´ 100mL), and the residuewas chromatographed, eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (20:1) to give the THPether 2 as clear oil (1.75 g, 97%).

 THP (2-四氢吡喃)脱保护示例(J.Org.Chem.1977,42,3772)

To an ethanol solution (30 mL) of THP ether 1 (1.87 g, 5mmol) was added PPTS (20 mg,0.08mmol) in one portion. The solution was refluxed for 1 h, cooled to 22-24^oC,and diluted with a mixture of diethyl ether (100 mL) and H₂O (200mL). The organic layer was washed with H₂O (2 ´ 100mL), dried over Na₂SO₄and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography onsilica gel, eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (3:1) to give 2 (1.36 g, 94%) as clear oil.
