N,N-Dimethylformamide (Cat No.:R069551) is a polar aprotic solvent with the chemical formula HCON(CH₃)₂. It is a colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a faint ammonia-like odor, prized for its excellent solvating ability across a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. DMF is commonly used in polymer processing, pharmaceuticals, peptide synthesis, and as a reaction medium in organic chemistry. Its high boiling point and miscibility with water and many solvents make it valuable for high-temperature applications. However, DMF is toxic and requires careful handling due to its potential reproductive and liver toxicity.
