Ammonia (NH3) in 2-Propanol (IPA)
Description
Ammonia (NH₃) in 2-Propanol (IPA) is a solution made by dissolving gaseous ammonia in 2-propanol, commonly known as isopropanol (IPA). This solution is widely used in organic synthesis, particularly for amination reactions and as a base in various chemical processes. The combination of ammonia and IPA provides a non-aqueous, volatile solvent system that enhances reactivity and is ideal for organic transformations.
