Morpholine
This morpholine contains both amine and ether functional groups with chemical formula O(CH2CH2)2NH. It’s a base due to the presence of amine group. morpholinium is a conjugate acid of Morpholine. Industrially it is produced by the dehydration of diethanolamine with sulfuric acid.
Due to the low cost and polarity of it’s used as a solvent for chemical reactions. It is commonly used to produce enamines and has been used as a catalyst for the condensation of aldehydes and ketones.
Uses
Ø In organic synthesis
Ø It’s used as a building block
Ø In the preparation of the antibiotics, anticancer agent and analgesics.
Ø used as chemical emulsifier in fruit waxing
Ø used as an emulsifier and solubility aid for shellac
Journal of Heterocyclics discusses a wide range of topics, including fundamental aspects, physical and chemical properties, new trends in the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of heterocyclic compounds future trends in the research of heterocyclic compounds. The Journal also draws attention to the practical application of heterocyclic compounds in the pharmacy and process chemistry. Overall the scope is to cover topics dealing with all areas within heterocyclic chemistry, both experimental and theoretical, of interest to the general heterocyclic chemistry community.
