I want to say, Can an hydrous (dry) THF act as abase and deprotonates resorcinol. If you have the Pka value data for both THF & resorcinol please suggest me.  

No.

THF is a very weak base and resorcinol is a fairly weak acid.

The resorcinol would dissolve, but there will be no reaction.

Thank you for your help, Do you have the pka value data for both compounds?
