4-Methylmorpholine N-oxide, 50% w/w aq. soln.

Description

CAS: 7529-22-8 | C5H11NO2 | 117.15 g/mol

4-Methylmorpholine N-oxide acts as a non-metallic catalyst for the cyanosilylation of ketones. It is also employed as a co-oxidant for Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation in ionic liquids. It serves as a solvent in the Lyocell process to produce tencel fiber. Further, it is used in the preparation of aldehydes from primary alcohols in the presence of tetrapropylammonium perruthenate.

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.
