N,N-Dimethylformamide, Spectrophotometric Grade, 99.7+%

Description

Maximum level of impurities: Evaporation residue 5ppm, H₂O 0.1% | CAS: 68-12-2 | C3H7NO | 73.10 g/mol

N, N-Dimethylformamide is commonly used as a solvent. It is used as a reagent in Bouveault aldehyde synthesis and also in Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. It acts as a catalyst in the synthesis of acyl chlorides. It is used for separating and refining crude from olefin gas. DMF along with methylene chloride acts as a remover of varnish or lacquers. It is also used in the manufacture of adhesives, fibers and films. It is suitable for use in ultraviolet spectrophotometry.
