Pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturers employ many of our versatile process solvents in a wide range of applications. Used in the production of bulk pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals, they function as reaction, extraction, and crystallization solvents in organic syntheses. ARCOPURE® high purity MTBE is a potential substitute for methylene chloride, diethyl ether and certain aromatics. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a versatile process solvent with many synthetic applications, especially in many types of organometallic reactions. TEBOL® 99 high purity tertiary butyl alcohol is an excellent solvent for moderately polar fine chemicals and intermediates. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is a specialized process solvent with low toxicity, low vapor pressure and a high flash point. TBAc™ tertiary butyl acetate is a unique building block and solvent for organic synthesis with uses in enolate ion additions and carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.
