Morpholine, 99%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Morpholine is a common additive for pH adjustment in both fossil fuel and nuclear power plant steam systems. It is widely used in organic synthesis as a building block in the preparation of the antibiotic linezolid, the anticancer agent gefitinib and the analgesic dextromoramide. It is also used as a solvent in chemical reactions and in the preparation of enamines. Further, it serves as a chemical emulsifier in the process of waxing fruit.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
