Applications
Uses4-Methylmorpholine N-Oxide is a metabolite of Morpholine (M723725). N-Methylmorpholine N-Oxide is commonly used to dissolve cellulose as well as in the dissolution of of scleroproteins.
Uses4-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.
UsesNon-metallic catalyst for the cyanosilylation of ketones. Co-oxidant for Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation in ionic liquids.
General Description4-MethylmorpholineN-oxide is an organic compound used as a co-oxidant along with OsO4 and ruthenates in organic synthesis. In recent studies, it has been used as a catalyst in silylcyanation of aldehydes and ketones. Lyocell, a regenerated cellulose fiber, can be prepared using 4-methylmorpholineN-oxide in an eco-friendly manner.
