Synthesis of n,n-dimethylformamide

Madandcrazy - 22-1-2006 at 08:23

Have anyone a suggestion to prepare n,n-dimethylformamide
O=CHN(CH3)2 or DMF wich is surely useful for any chemical reactions for funny energetic materials ?
Possibly by formic acid, ammonia solution, ammonium salt`s or by a subsitution wit a amide (sodium amide).

There is a thread on the subject ........solo

Thanks for posting the thread solo.

I have some suggestions what can walk for the systhesis,
possibly when:

put the formic acid in a beaker,
n,n-dimethylchloromethane ;) is added to the concentrated formic acid and the DMF is produced by continue the systhesis when saturated NaOH solution is dropped in the mixture.

I don`t know the n,n-dimethylchloromethane is produced easy by diflourochlormethane or some other starting materials.
