DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS |
||
|
1,3-Dimethylurea (DMU) is a solid in the form of white crystals with a faint ammonia-like odor It is soluble in water. It acts as a radical scavenger that protects isolated pancreatic islets from the effects of alloxan and dihydroxyfumarate exposure. Methyl amine and 1,3-dimethylurea are hydrolysis products of methyl isocyanate. It is used in manufacturing synthetic caffeine, resins and drugs. 1,3-Dimethylurea is used as a catalyst for condensation of methylamine with urea. |
