Description

Formamide is a colorless gas with a pungent, irritating odor. It is used as an antiseptic and an intermediate in the production of other organic compounds. Formamide has been shown to be effective against animal-derived pathogens such as Covid-19 and influenza A/H5N1, and it has been proposed as a potential treatment for pandemic influenza. Formamide reacts with chlorine to produce formate salt (formic acid), which can then be converted into amines or hexamethylphosphoramide. The reaction rate of formamide increases with increasing temperature, but decreases with increasing concentration of hydrogen.
Formamide is also used as a solvent in microscopy to dissolve tissue samples for analysis by electron microscopy techniques.
