N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)formamide, with the CAS number 693-06-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a formamide functional group and a hydroxyethyl substituent. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. This compound is soluble in water and various organic solvents, which enhances its utility in chemical applications. N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)formamide is known for its role as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of amides and other nitrogen-containing compounds. It exhibits moderate toxicity, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures during use. The presence of both hydroxyl and amide functional groups allows for hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties such as boiling point and viscosity. Additionally, it may participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
