Description

1-Acetyl-3-methylurea is a chemical compound that is classified as an amido amide. It is used as a stabilizer in dewaxed oils, and also has the role of an intramolecular hydrogen donor. It can be made by reacting sodium nitrate with ammonia in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl). 1-Acetyl-3-methylurea can be made from urea by reacting it with methyl iodide. This reaction takes place in the presence of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form 1-acetyl-3-methylurea and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl). 1-Acetyl-3-methylurea has a low basicity and forms hydrogen bonds with other molecules such as catalysis with hydroxide ion or hydrogen bonding with water.
