Description

Application
A 0.5 M ammonia solution in dioxane is used as a mild basic and nucleophilic reagent in organic synthesis and depending on the process in deprotection or cleavage reactions.

Purpose
Its purpose is to provide a controlled and relatively low concentration of ammonia for reactions requiring basic or nucleophilic conditions while minimizing the use of highly concentrated ammonia.

General Description
The reagent consists of ammonia at a concentration of 0.5 molL dissolved in dioxane. Ammonia provides the basic and nucleophilic functionality while dioxane acts as the organic solvent and provides a homogeneous reaction medium for suitable synthetic transformations.
