Isosorbide dimethyl ether CAS#5306-85-4
Isosorbide dimethyl ether is synthesized from isosorbide by methylation.
Isosorbide dimethyl ether is obtained from stock like D-sorbitol, which is mainly derived from the hydrogenation of D-glucose.
Isosorbide dimethyl has a low level of toxicity and is referred to as a green solvent due to its production from renewable/raw material.
The boiling point of this solvent is high.
lt is used as a substitute to dimethyl sulfoxide,and dimethylformamide-like solvents.

Product Application Of Isosorbide dimethyl ether CAS#5306-85-4
Isosorbide dimethyl ether (DMI), a sustainable solvent, is widely used in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.
General applications:
DMI can be used as an alternative green solvent for epoxidation of cyclooctene, Baylis–Hillman reaction of isomaltulose-derived aldehydes with α,β-unsaturated ketones and also in solid-phase synthesis.
It can be used as a coalescent for water-borne paints, where it acts as a co-solvent during the water loss phase and as a coalescing agent during the film formation.
