About Dimethylformamide

Dimethylformamide (IUPAC name N,N-dimethylfomamide) is structurally the same as formamide but with two methyl groups replacing the two hydrogens. It is a clear and odorless liquid, although impurities of dimethylamine may result in a fishy aroma. It is prepared via the reaction of dimethyamine with either methyl formate or carbon monoxide. It is miscible with water, and has a wide range of applications as a solvent.

Dimethylformamide is often used as a solvent or reagent in synthetic reactions, including aldehyde synthesis, acyl halide synthesis, and in the Heck reaction. The pharmaceutical industry uses Dimethylformamide as a solvent for peptide coupling reactions. It has been used to recover olefins via extractive distillation. It is also used in the manufacturing process of adhesives, fibers, and synthetic leathers.
