General description
Cyrene is a biobased dipolar, safe for end-of-life disposal, decomposing into CO2 and H2O. It is an aprotic alternative to common solvents that are of environmental concern. Cyrene™ is an alternative for many solvents classified by REACH as Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC), such as N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF).
Application
1. Dispersive ability for graphene solutions.
2. Alternative to DMF in the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks.
3. Organic synthesis:
- Cacchi-type annulation
- Synthesis of urea
- HATU Amide Coupling - Replacement for DMF in amide and dipeptide coupling reactions.
- Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
- Sonogashira coupling reaction.
- Reductive homocoupling reaction.
Features and Benefits
- 99% biodegradation in 28 days
- Stable during incineration
- Not mutagenic or genotoxic
- ASTM D6866 - Standard Test Methods for Determining the Biobased Content
- Made from Renewable Resource − Cellulose
