CAS 75-12-7: Formamide
Description:Formamide, with the CAS number 75-12-7, is a simple amide derived from formic acid. It is a colorless, viscous liquid that is hygroscopic and has a faint odor. Formamide is highly polar due to the presence of both a carbonyl group and an amine group, which allows it to engage in strong hydrogen bonding. This property makes it an excellent solvent for a variety of polar and ionic compounds. Formamide has a relatively high boiling point compared to other amides, which can be attributed to its ability to form extensive hydrogen bonds. It is miscible with water and many organic solvents, making it versatile in chemical applications. In terms of reactivity, formamide can undergo hydrolysis to produce formic acid and ammonia, and it can also participate in various organic reactions, including amidation and condensation reactions. Due to its properties, formamide is utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, as a solvent in chemical synthesis, and in the manufacture of plastics and resins. However, it is important to handle formamide with care, as it can be toxic and poses health risks upon exposure.
