Morpholine is an organic chemical compound having the chemical formulaO(CH2CH2)2NH. This heterocycle, pictured at right, features both amine and etherfunctional groups. Because of the amine, Morpholine is a base; its conjugate acid is called morpholinium. Morpholine is an important building block for rubber chemicals and finds a multitude of applications in other industries. Morpholine is used as an intermediate for water treatment, the production of pharmaceutical and agrocultural products as well as optical brightners. Morpholine is a common additive, in parts per million concentrations, for pH adjustment in both fossil fuel and nuclear power plant steam systems. Morpholine is used because itsvolatility is about the same as water, so once it is added to the water, its concentration becomes distributed rather evenly in both the water and steam phases. Morpholine undergoes most chemical reactions typical for other secondary amines, though the presence of the ether oxygen withdraws electron density from the nitrogen, rendering it less nucleophilic (and less basic) than structurally similar secondary amines such as piperidine. We are one of the Leading Importers & Suppliers of Morpholine in India.
