NMF Agrochemical Intermediate For Transamidation Chemical Reactions

Purity Above 99% N-Methylformamide For Acaricide Intermediate

N-Methylformamide is used to prepare methyl isocyanate. It is used as an extraction solvent for aromatic hydrocarbons and acts as a ligand in coordination chemistry. It is employed as a solvent in oil refineries and in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Further, it is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. In addition to this, it is used as an investigational anticancer drug and an intermediate in the production of some pharmaceutical compounds.

N-Methylformamide is used in amidation or transamidation chemical reactions where formamide is insufficient.

NMF possesses excellent solvent properties that are similar to those of dimethylformamide. However, NMF appears to be much less important as an industrial solvent than dimethylformamide.

Moderately toxic by ingestion, intraperitoneal, intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous routes. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. An eye irritant. A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame. Violent reaction with benzene sulfonyl chloride. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Dry it over molecular sieves for 2days, then distil it under reduced pressure through a column packed with glass helices. Fractionally crystallise it by partial freezing and the solid portion is distilled in a vacuum.
