Ammonia (NH3) in Ethanol (ETOH)
Description
Ammonia (NH₃) in Ethanol (EtOH) is a solution of gaseous ammonia dissolved in ethanol, a widely used organic solvent. This solution is commonly employed in organic synthesis, particularly for amination, transamination, and base-catalyzed reactions. The combination of ammonia and ethanol provides a versatile, non-aqueous medium ideal for a range of chemical processes.
