Morpholine

タイトルまたは説明

CAS Number *******8, is a colorless, mobile,hygroscopic liquid with a characteristic amine-like odor. Itis completely miscible with water and a large number oforganic solvents, and is itself a solvent for a large varietyof organic materials, including resins, dyes, waxes,shellac, and casein.Morpholine is an extremely versatile chemical withmany important applications. It is used as an intermediatein the manufacture of rubber chemicals and opticalbrighteners. It is also used extensively as a corrosioninhibitor in steam boiler systems.Fatty acid derivatives of morpholine are used asemulsifiers in the manufacture of waxes and polishes.Other derivatives have found applications as bactericides,pharmaceutical chemicals, and antioxidants for lubricatingoils. Morpholine derivatives are particularly useful in thetextile industry, where they are employed as textilelubricants and sizing emulsifiers.Chemically, morpholine is an amino ether. The etherfunction of the molecule is typically inert and most of thereactions of morpholine involve the secondary aminegroup.
