General description

N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a polar organic solvent with a wide range of industrial applications. It is a precursor for numerous reactions such as formylation, aminocarbonylation, amination, amidation and cyanation. Along with phosphorus oxychloride, it forms Vilsmeier reagent used in the formylation of reactive aromatic and heteroaromatic substrates. Dielectric relaxation experiments on DMF have been conducted between 238.15K and 338.15K. The thermophysical properties of the molecular interactions between DMF and the ionic liquids, ammonium salts and imidazolium salts have been studied. The characteristics of solute-solvent interactions between ammonium nitrate and DMF have been investigated.
Our biotech solvents offer exceptional quality for reliable RNA extraction, ensuring optimal laboratory performance. With low water content and minimal residue, give clean UV spectra to minimize contamination.
  • High-Quality Biotech Solvents: Designed for optimal laboratory performance with low water content and minimal residues.
  • Ideal for RNA Extraction: Essential for genetic testing and research applications like PCR.
  • Ensures Integrity of Genetic Material: Promotes reliable and reproducible results.
  • Industry Compliant: Suitable for both academic and commercial laboratories, enhancing research efficiency.

Application

N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) has been used for the preparation of tetraformylcavitand precursor for generating octahedral nanocontainer.
Solvent for many hydrophobic organic compounds.
