THIS PRESENTATION CONTAIN INTRODUCTION, STRUCTURE, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, AND APPLICATION OF NON AROMATIC HETEROCYCLIC COMPOUND - MORPHOLINE

1. MORPHOLINE BY- VISHAL SINGH SOLANKI

2. INTRODUCTION Morpholine is an organic chemical compound having the chemical formula O(CH2CH2)2NH. This hetero-cycle features both amine and ether functional groups. Because of the amine, morpholine is a base; its conjugate acid is called morpholinium.

3. STRUCTURE

4. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Chemical formula - C4H9NO Molar mass - 87.122 g·mol−1 Appearance - Colourless liquid Odour - Weak ammonia-like or fish-like Density - 1.007 g/cm3 Melting point - −5 °C (23 °F; 268 K) Boiling point - 129 °C (264 °F; 402 K) Solubility in water - miscible

5. SYNTHESIS 1. Morpholine is often produced industrially by the dehydration of diethanol amine with sulfuric acid

6. USES INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION- 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 its volatility is about the same as water, so once it is added to the water ORGANIC SYNTHESIS - Morpholine is widely used in organic synthesis. For example, it is a building block in the preparation of the antibiotic linezolid, the anticancer agent gefitinib (Iressa) and the analgesic dextromoramide. In research and in industry, the low cost and polarity of morpholine lead to its common use as a solvent for chemical reactions. Agriculture-As a fruit coating - Morpholine is used as a chemical emulsifier in the process of waxing fruit. Naturally, fruits make waxes to protect against insects and fungal contamination, but this can be lost as the fruit is cleaned. As a component in fungicides
