Morpholine, a six-membered heterocycle
containing one nitrogen and one oxygen atom, is a moiety of great
significance.It possesses both amine as well as
ether functional groups and is extensively used in many pharmaceutical
as well industrial preparations.Meanwhile, as a fairly strong base
with pKa of 8.7, its widely used as an intermediate in many organic
syntheses[1].
Morpholine containing drugs are of high therapeutic value.Its wide array of
pharmacological activity includes anti-depressant[1], bronchodilator[1], anti-autoimmune
diseases[2],anti-HIV[3],antitubercular[4-5]and anticancer[1,6]. |
