Product Information

• Name: N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide is a nucleophilic amide that can be synthesized by the reaction of acetamide with methylmagnesium chloride. It has been used to synthesize an enantiopure derivative of 2-aminopropanol, which is used in the synthesis of potent antitumor agents. N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide has shown potent anticancer activity in mice and rats. This molecule exhibits a carbonyl group that can act as an enolate, which is a reactive intermediate within chemical reactions. The nucleophilic attack on this carbonyl group leads to intramolecular hydrogen transfer, producing a more stable product.
