N,N-Dimethylformamide ACS reagent, ≥99.8%

General description N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is an organic compound commonly used as a reagent as well as a solvent in organic synthesis. It plays multiple roles in various reactions such as formylating agent, dehydrating agent, reducing agent as well as a catalyst. Application DMF can be used as: A formylating agent for organometallic compounds. A reactant to prepare Vilsmeier reagent by reacting with phosphorus oxychloride. A reagent for amination of aryl chlorides in the presence of potassium t-butoxide. A reducing agent for metal salts to prepare metal colloids. A catalyst for the regioselective silylation of unprotected carbohydrates. DMF can also be used in the following: DMF-Phosgene catalytic system is used to prepare alkyl halides from alcohols. DMF-POCl3 is used to convert acyclic and cyclic enolizable ketones to β-chloro-α, β-unsaturated aldehydes. DMF-POCl3 is used to synthesize quinoline-3-carbaldehydes from acylanilides. DMF-SOCl2 combination is used to dehydrate oximes to nitriles. DMF-Ag2O converts α-bromopropionamides to oxazolidinones. DMF is frequently used as a solvent in many chemical reactions, which require a high solvency power. Solvent for many hydrophobic organic compounds.
