General description
This Cyrene™ blend is an alternative for NMP and DMF in many cross-coupling reactions. Neither Cyrene™ nor 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran have any genotoxic or mutagenic concerns associated with their use, making them much safer alternatives to traditional aprotic solvents.
This new blend is part of our Biorenewable product line, meaning that it is made from renewable resources and does not compete with food resources for its production, making it more environmentally sustainable for the future. The material has also been independently certified as 100% renewable carbon.
Application
- 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
- Independently certified as 100% renewable carbon.
- Closer physical properties of NMP and DMF while maintaining high reaction yields.
- Sustainably produced and environmentally less hazardous than more traditional petroleum aprotic solvents
- Both Cyrene and 2-MeTHF are also much safer for handling without the genotoxic concerns of other solvents.
- It has a lower viscosity than neat Cyrene making it more optimized for automated processes.
