Industrial Grade factory supply Dimethylformamide(DMF) CAS:68-12-2

#   It is used as a reagent in the Bouveault aldehyde synthesis and in the Vilsmeier-Haack reaction,                 another useful method of forming aldehydes.

#   It is also a common catalyst used in the synthesis of acyl halides, in particular the synthesis of acyl        chlorides from carboxylic acids using oxalyl or thionyl chloride. The catalytic mechanism entails                reversible formation of an imidoyl chloride.

#  DMF penetrates most plastics and makes them swell. Because of this property DMF is suitable for           solid phase peptide synthesis and as a component of paint strippers.

#  DMF is used as a solvent to recover olefins such as 1,3-butadiene via extractive distillation.

#  It is also used in the manufacturing of solvent dyes as an important raw material. It is consumed               during reaction.
#  Pure acetylene gas cannot be compressed and stored without the danger of explosion. Industrial             acetylene is safely compressed in the presence of dimethylformamide, which forms a safe,                         concentrated solution. The casing is also filled with agamassan, which renders it safe to transport and     use.
