N-Methylacetamide is a flammable, difficult to ignite, hygroscopic, crystalline, colourless solid with a faint odor that is soluble in water. [1] Several isomeric forms are known. [8] [9] In solution, it is 97–100% present as the Z isomer with a polymeric structure. [10] [4] The compound has a high dielectric constant of 191.3 at 32 °C. [11]
In chemistry, a zwitterion (/ ˈ t s v ɪ t ə ˌ r aɪ ə n / TSVIT-ə-ry-ən; from German Zwitter 'hermaphrodite'), also called an inner salt or dipolar ion, [1] is a molecule that contains an equal number of positively and negatively charged functional groups. [2] 1,2-dipolar compounds, such as ylides, are sometimes excluded from the ...
The chemical reactions of dimethylacetamide are typical of N,N-disubstituted amides. Hydrolysis of the acyl-N bond occurs in the presence of acids: CH 3 CON(CH 3) 2 + H 2 O + HCl → CH 3 COOH + (CH 3) 2 NH 2 + Cl −. However, it is resistant to bases. For this reason DMA is a useful solvent for reactions involving strong bases such as sodium ...
Acetamide (systematic name: ethanamide) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CONH 2. It is an amide derived from ammonia and acetic acid. It finds some use as a plasticizer and as an industrial solvent. [5] The related compound N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) is more widely used, but it is not
In the oil and gas industry, polyacrylamide derivatives (especially co-polymers) have a substantial effect on production by enhanced oil recovery by viscosity enhancement. High viscosity aqueous solutions can be generated with low concentrations of polyacrylamide polymers, which are injected to improve the economics of conventional water-flooding.
In polymer chemistry, anionic addition polymerization is a form of chain-growth polymerization or addition polymerization that involves the polymerization of monomers initiated with anions. The type of reaction has many manifestations, but traditionally vinyl monomers are used.
However, certain inorganic and inorganic-organic polymers, for example those containing metallocene derivatives, are at present best named using organic nomenclature, e.g., the polymer shown can be named poly[(dimethylsilanediyl)ferrocene-1,1'-diyl].
Adamantane-based polymers might find application for coatings of touchscreens, [60] and there are prospects for using adamantane and its homologues in nanotechnology. For example, the soft cage-like structure of adamantane solid allows incorporation of guest molecules, which can be released inside the human body upon breaking the matrix.
