Dimethylformamide

Description:
Dimethylformamide (DMF) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H7NO and a CAS number of 68-12-2. It is a colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a faint amine-like odor, known for its high polarity and ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and nonpolar compounds. DMF is commonly used as a solvent in various chemical reactions, particularly in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and agrochemicals. It has a relatively high boiling point and low volatility, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. DMF is miscible with water and many organic solvents, enhancing its utility in diverse chemical processes. However, it is important to handle DMF with care, as it can be toxic and may cause skin and eye irritation. Additionally, prolonged exposure can lead to more serious health effects, including liver damage. Due to these properties, DMF is regulated in many regions, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when using it in laboratory or industrial settings.
