N-methylformamide
Sign in to saveAlso known as N-Monomethylformamide, HCONHCH3, Monomethylformamide, Methylformamide, C2H5NO, N-Methyl-formic acid-amide, (e)-methylimidoformic acid
'''N-Methylformamide''' (NMF) is a colorless, nearly odorless, organic compound and secondary amide with molecular formula , which is a liquid at room temperature. NMF is mainly used as a reagent in various organic syntheses with limited applications as a highly polar solvent.

'''N-Methylformamide' (NMF) is a colorless, nearly odorless, organic compound and secondary amide with molecular formula , which is a liquid at room temperature. NMF is mainly used as a reagent in various organic syntheses with limited applications as a highly polar solvent.
NMF is closely related to other formamides, notably formamide and dimethylformamide (DMF). However, industrial use and production of NMF are far less than for either of these other formamides. DMF is favored over NMF as a solvent due to its greater stability. Annual production of NMF can be assumed to be significantly less than the production of either formamide (100,000 tons) or DMF (500,000 tons).
