Morpholine is a heterocyclic compound with a nitrogen atom in its ring. It is also known as a morpholinyl group, which has an aralkyl group or an aralkoxy group. Morpholine is used as an analgesic and has been shown to have the ability to act on the nervous system. Morpholine has been shown to be hydrolyzed by water and hydrates, and may also be oxidized by nitric acid to produce nitromorpholine. Morpholine can be synthesized from naphthalene, benzyl chloride, and morpholinium chloride.
