Description | N-Methylformamide, also known as HCONHCH3 or NMF, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboximidic acids. These are organic acids with the general formula RC(=N)-OH (R=H, organic group). N-Methylformamide is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). DMF is favored over NMF as a solvent due to its greater stability. Like DMF and formamide, each of the two rotamers of NMF are described by two principal resonance structures:This description highlights the partial double bond that exists between the carbonyl carbon and nitrogen, which gives rise to a high rotational barrier. Annual production of NMF can be assumed to be significantly less than the production of either formamide (100,000 tons) or DMF (500,000 tons). NMF is typically prepared by allowing methylamine to react with methyl formate:CH3NH2 + HCOOCH3 → CH3NHCHO + CH3OHA less common alternative to this process is transamidation involving formamide:HCONH2 + CH3NH2 → CH3NHCHO + NH3NMF is a specialized solvent in oil refineries. These reactions can generally be categorized by the following equation:R-Lg + CH3NHCHO → R-NCH3CHO + H-Lg (where Lg is a leaving group). NMF is the precursor to methyl isocyanide, a ligand in coordination chemistry. NMF is used as a solvent in Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors. N-Methylformamide (NMF) is a colorless, nearly odorless, organic compound with molecular formula CH3NHCHO, which is a liquid at room temperature. It was first documented in 1986 (PMID: 3712373). NMF is closely related to other formamides, notably formamide and dimethylformamide (DMF) (PMID: 17254560) (PMID: 16289959) (PMID: 19634900) (PMID: 24473177). |
