Dimethylformamide, DMF is an organic compound with the chemical formula H C O N(CH 3) 2. Its structure is HC(=O)−N( −CH 3 ) 2 . Commonly abbreviated as DMF (although this initialism is sometimes used for dimethylfuran , or dimethyl fumarate ), this colourless liquid is miscible with water and the majority of organic liquids.
An alternative to the weaker base is to use a strong base which is present at a lower concentration than the ketone. For instance, with a slurry of sodium hydride in THF or dimethylformamide (DMF), the base only reacts at the solution–solid interface.
Tertiary amides do not experience this problem, and react with carbon nucleophiles to give ketones; the amide anion (NR 2 −) is a very strong base and thus a very poor leaving group, so nucleophilic attack only occurs once. When reacted with carbon nucleophiles, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) can be used to introduce a formyl group. [10]
Lithium tetramethylpiperidide (LiTMP or harpoon base) Other strong non-nucleophilic bases are sodium hydride and potassium hydride. These compounds are dense, salt-like materials that are insoluble and operate by surface reactions. Some reagents are of high basicity (pK a of conjugate acid around 17) but of modest but not negligible ...
DMF may refer to: Science and technology. Chemistry. Dimethylformamide, a common solvent; Dimethyl fumarate, a small molecule anti-inflammatory human medicine;
An intramolecular force (from Latin intra-'within') is any force that binds together the atoms making up a molecule. [1] Intramolecular forces are stronger than the intermolecular forces that govern the interactions between molecules.
Caesium carbonate has a high solubility in polar solvents such as water, ethanol and DMF. Its solubility is higher in organic solvents compared to other carbonates like potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate, although it remains quite insoluble in other organic solvents such as toluene, p-xylene, and chlorobenzene.
It is commonly abbreviated as LiHMDS or Li(HMDS) (lithium hexamethyldisilazide - a reference to its conjugate acid HMDS) and is primarily used as a strong non-nucleophilic base and as a ligand. Like many lithium reagents, it has a tendency to aggregate and will form a cyclic trimer in the absence of coordinating species.
