DMF; DMF; NSC 5356. DMF can be used as: - A formylating agent for organometallic compounds. - A reactant to prepare Vilsmeier reagent by reacting with phosphorus oxychloride.

- A reagent for amination of aryl chlorides in the presence of potassium t-butoxide. - A reducing agent ...DMF; DMF; NSC 5356. DMF can be used as: - A formylating agent for organometallic compounds.

- A reactant to prepare Vilsmeier reagent by reacting with phosphorus oxychloride. - A reagent for amination of aryl chlorides in the presence of potassium t-butoxide. - A reducing agent for metal salts to prepare metal colloids.

- A catalyst for the regioselective silylation of unprotected carbohydrates. DMF can also be used in the following: - DMF-Phosgene catalytic system is used to prepare alkyl halides from alcohols. - DMF-POCl3is used to convert acyclic and cyclic enolizable ketones to β-chloro-α, β-unsaturated aldehydes.

- DMF-POCl3 is used to synthesize quinoline-3-carbaldehydes from acylanilides. - DMF-SOCl2 combination is used to dehydrate oximes to nitriles. - DMF-Ag2O converts α-bromopropionamides to oxazolidinones.

- DMF is frequently used as a solvent in many chemical reactions, which require a high solvency power. N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) is an organic compound commonly used as a reagent as well as a solvent in organic synthesis. It plays multiple roles in various reactions such as formylating agent, dehydrating agent, reducing agent as well as a catalyst.
