N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide

Description:
N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide, commonly known as DEET, is an organic compound widely recognized for its use as an insect repellent. It is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes a toluamide group, contributing to its efficacy in repelling mosquitoes and other biting insects. DEET is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor and is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular formula is C12H17NO, and it has a relatively low volatility, which allows it to remain effective on the skin for extended periods. DEET works by interfering with the insect's ability to detect human scent, thus reducing the likelihood of bites. While generally considered safe for use, it is important to apply it according to guidelines to minimize potential skin irritation or adverse reactions. Its widespread application in personal care products underscores its significance in public health, particularly in areas where insect-borne diseases are prevalent.
