Description

General description

We are dedicated to providing Greener Alternative Products that adhere to The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) is a bio-based solvent that aligns with the principles of "Use of Renewable Feedstocks" and "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries", making it a sustainable alternative to dipolar aprotic solvents like NMP and DMF. DMI′s high solubilization capacity makes it suitable to be used as a co-solvent for nonpolar drugs and in organic synthesis. Moreover, its exceptional properties, such as non-toxicity, non-irritation, and biodegradability, make it a safe and eco-friendly choice for both customers and the environment.

Application

Polymer membranes preparation
Peptide synthesis
Cross-coupling reactions
Co-solvent to improve solubility of nonpolar compounds
Lithium battery recycling
