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.
