APPLICATIONS

N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) is a clear oily liquid miscible in all proportion with water; melting point -20 C, boiling point 165 C at 1013 hPa. It is dissolved in most of organic solvents including alcohols, ethers, ketones, chlorinated and aromatic solvents except aliphatic hydrocarbons. DMAc is produced from acetic acid and dimethylamine. It is the acetic acid amide with two methyl group substituents on the nitrogen atom. The is formic acid analogue is N,N,-dimethylformamide (DMF). DMAc is less toxic than DMF. The good water solubility and excellent solvent power particularly for high molecular weight polymers and resins make DMAc as a common solvent in man-made fibre and polyurethane production. DMAc is also used as a solvent for production of X-ray and photo-resist stripping compounds. N,N-Dimethylacetamide is a dipolar aprotic solvent with a high boiling point. DMAc is a good reaction medium and catalyst. It facilitates the SN2 reaction mechanism. It is a reactor solvent or plasticizer for cosmetic and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is also used as an extraction agent for gases and oils.
