Information of N-Methylformamide(NMF)
N-methylformamide (NMF), with the chemical formula CH₃NO, is a colorless, mobile liquid widely used in the chemical industry. It has a boiling point of 180-185 °C and a melting point of -3 to -4 °C, demonstrating stability under high temperatures. NMF is notable for its excellent solubility in water and various organic solvents, making it a valuable solvent in pharmaceuticals, electronics, and other industries. It also serves as an intermediate in synthesizing diverse chemical products. Handling NMF requires safety precautions due to its irritant nature.

Production Technology of NMF
Raw Material Preparation:
- Methylamine and formic acid, or a formic acid derivative like methyl formate, are prepared as the primary reactants.
Reaction Process:
- The production of NMF is usually carried out through the reaction of methylamine with formic acid or methyl formate.
- If methyl formate is used, it reacts with methylamine to form NMF and methanol. The reaction can be represented as: CH3O2CH3+NH2CH3→CH3NO+CH3OH
- Alternatively, direct reaction of formic acid with methylamine can also produce NMF. This process might involve dehydration steps.
Purification:
- The reaction mixture is subjected to purification processes to isolate NMF. This can involve methods like distillation to separate NMF from other by-products and unreacted materials.
Quality Control:
- The purity and quality of the NMF produced are tested. Common tests include checking the boiling point, melting point, and purity level (often requiring over 99% purity for industrial applications).
Storage and Handling:
- Once purified and tested, NMF is stored in appropriate containers under conditions that prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
Safety and Environmental Compliance:
- Throughout the production process, safety measures are crucial due to the potentially hazardous nature of the chemicals involved. The process must also comply with environmental regulations to manage any waste or emissions.
