Product Description
DMF (N,N-Dimethylformamide) is a high-boiling polar aprotic solvent. It is a colorless transparent liquid with a faint amine odor at room temperature and is completely miscible with water and most organic solvents. With a high dielectric constant of 36.7, DMF effectively promotes SN2 reactions and is widely used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediates, acrylic fiber production, electronics cleaning, and polyurethane coatings.
For detailed information on the physical and chemical properties of DMF, see 【Addition information】
