N, n-dimethylacetamide - process
Dimethylamine and acetic anhydride are acylated at 0 ~ 20ºC, and then acetic acid is neutralized with liquid alkali at low temperature to remove sodium acetate, and the neutralized liquid is then alkali washed and rectified, and the fraction of boiling range 164 ~ 166.5ºC is turned into finished product.
The acetyl chloride process is the reaction of dimethylamine with acetyl chloride. Compared with the current acetic anhydride process in China, the production cost is reduced and the economic benefit is improved.
N, N-dimethylacetamide - Introduction
Soluble in water, soluble in acetone, benzene, chloroform, ethanol, toluene and most other organic solvents.
N, N-dimethylacetamide - Uses
It is mainly used as solvent for medicine, resin (polyamide resin, etc.) and synthetic fiber (acrylonitrile). It can also be used as reaction catalyst, electrolytic solvent, paint remover, and a variety of crystalline solvent adducts and complexes
