General description
This Cyrene™ blend is an alternative for NMP and DMF in many cross-coupling reactions. Neither Cyrene™ nor γ-Valerolactone have any genotoxic or mutagenic concerns associated with their use, making them much safer alternatives to traditional aprotic solvents.
This new blend is part of our Biorenewable product line, meaning that it is made from renewable resources and does not compete with food resources for its production, making it more environmentally sustainable for the future. The material has also been independently certified as 100% renewable carbon.
Application
- HATU Amide Coupling - Replacement for DMF in amide and dipeptide coupling reactions
- Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
- Sonogashira coupling reaction.
- Reductive homocoupling reaction.
Features and Benefits
- Independently certified as 100% renewable carbon.
- Closer physical properties of NMP and DMF while maintaining high reaction yields.
- Sustainably produced and environmentally less hazardous than more traditional petroleum aprotic solvents
- Both Cyrene and GVL are also much safer for handling without the genotoxic concerns of other solvents.
- It has a lower viscosity than neat Cyrene making it more optimized for automated processes.

What is a BioRenewable solvent?
BioRenewable solvents are sourced from renewable and sustainable biobased materials, such as soy/palm oil, wood waste, hay or corn byproducts, etc. It is important to highlight that our BioRenewable products do not compete with food production.
Why should you use BioRenewable solvents?
You will contribute to create a sustainable world, significantly lowering environmental impact. Biorenewable solvents also decrease petroleum sources dependency, have higher recovery rates, and/or are safer for handling and disposal.
Do BioRenewable solvents have a similar quality to petroleum-based solvents?
BioRenewable solvents can have the same or higher purity level compared to traditional solvents. These solvents are free of the many byproducts of petroleum manufacturing, such as benzene, aldehydes, and ethers.

Why should you have to choose between solvents that are ecological and those that are reliable? Enjoy both at once with our biorenewable and greener solutions. Cyrene™ solvent is a new dipolar aprotic alternative to common REACH restricted solvents, such as N methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and Dimethylformamide (DMF).
