DI METHYL FORMAMIDE LR
dimethylformamide is (CH3)2NC(O)H and is abbreviated as DMF. It is a colorless liquid which dissolves in water and most of the organic chemicals. In its purest form it is odorless and with contamination or impurities it develops a fishy odor.
Field Note
Note
The dimethylformamide-dimethyl sulfate complex prepared above is transferred to the dropping funnel and added slowly.
Application
The primary use of DMF is as a solvent with low evaporation rate. DMF is used in the production of acrylic fibers and plastics. It is also used as a solvent in peptide coupling for pharmaceuticals, in the development and production of pesticides, and in the manufacture of adhesives, synthetic leathers, fibers, films, and surface coatings.
Dose
In acute and repeated-dose toxicity studies, DMF has been consistently hepatotoxic, inducing effects on the liver at lowest concentrations or doses.
