Application:	Dimethyl isosorbide may be used as an alternative solvent to NMP and/or DMF in some applications:• Polymer membranes preparation • Solvent in Baylis-Hillman reactions • Co-solvent to improve solubility of nonpolar compounds • Potential substitutes to short-chain glycol ethers
Features and Benefits:	• Bio-based • Made from Renewable Resource - straw • Non-toxic solvent • High solubility potential • High boiling point
General description:	We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) is a biobased greener solvent and thus it aligns with "Use of Renewable Feedstocks" and "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries". Click here  for more information. Dimethyl isosorbide (DMI) is a sustainable alternative to dipolar aprotic solvents such as NMP and DMF, suitable for organic synthesis, as Baylis-Hillman reaction, and due to its high solubilization capacity when used as co-solvent for nonpolar drugs, make it an interesting compound for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as well.
