CAS 3236-55-3

N1,N4-Dimethyl-1,4-benzenedicarboxamide

Description:

N1,N4-Dimethyl-1,4-benzenedicarboxamide, also known by its CAS number 3236-55-3, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring with two carboxamide groups at the 1 and 4 positions, each substituted with methyl groups. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits properties typical of amides, such as the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its solubility and reactivity. The presence of the dimethyl groups enhances its lipophilicity compared to its non-methylated counterparts. N1,N4-Dimethyl-1,4-benzenedicarboxamide may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis or in the development of pharmaceuticals. Its chemical stability and reactivity can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pH, making it important to handle it under controlled conditions. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance due to potential health hazards.
