4-Formylmorpholine is widely used as a solvent and extracting agent for aromatics. It is used as a scrubbing agent for acidic gases. It is employed in the preparation of adenine hydrochloride labeled with
14C, 4-(trifluoromethyl)morpholine, 3-alkyl-2-chloro-5,6-dihydrobenzaldehyde and terphenyl dialdehyde. It plays an important role in the desulfurization of natural gas, synthetic gas, flue gas and gasoline.
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.
