N,N-Dimethylacetamide

N,N-dimethylacetamide B&J brand 4 L; DMAC; NN-Dimethylacetamide; PROPYLENE CHLORIDE; Acetyldimeethylamine; CBC 510337; 2; dimethylacetamid; dimethylacetoneamide; Dimethylamid kyseliny octove; Dimethylamide acetate

N,N-dimethylacetamide N, also known as acetyldimethylamine, acetyldimethylamine, or DMAC for short, is an aprotic, highly polar solvent. It derives from anacetamide.
Dimethylacetamide appears as a clear colorless liquid with a faint odor similar to ammonia. About the same density as water. Vapors heavier than air. May by toxic by skin absorption. May by toxic by skin absorption. May irritate eyes and skin. 
It has strong solubility and a wide range of soluble substances. It can be arbitrarily miscible with water, aromatic compounds, esters, ketones, alcohols, ethers, benzene and chloroform, and can activate compound molecules, so it is widely used Solvent and catalyst.

1. In terms of solvent, with its high boiling point, high flash point, high thermal stability and chemical stability, it can be used as a spinning solvent for polyacrylonitrile, synthetic resins and natural resins, vinyl formate, vinyl pyridine and other copolymers and aromatic hydrocarbons. 
2. In terms of catalysts, it can be used in the processes of heating urea to produce cyanuric acid, reacting alkyl halides and metal cyanides to produce nitriles, reacting sodium acetylene and alkyl halides to produce alkyl alkynes, and reacting organic halides and cyanates to produce isocyanates.
3. N,N-Dimethylacetamide/DMAC can also be used as an electrolytic solvent and a solvent for photographic couplers, paint removers, organic synthetic materials, pesticides and pharmaceutical materials. Extractive distillation solvent for separating styrene from C8 fraction.
4. Used as a raw material for synthetic fibers and an excellent polar solvent for organic synthesis; used in organic synthesis, and also used as a solvent, catalyst and paint remover;
DMAC is mainly used as a solvent for synthetic fibers (acrylonitrile) and polyurethane spinning and synthetic polyamide resins. It is also used as an extractive distillation solvent for separating styrene from C8 fractions, and is widely used in polymer films; coatings and medicines. . At present, it is widely used to synthesize antibiotics and pesticides in medicine and pesticides.
