Abstract
N,N-Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA), also called 1,1-dimethoxy-N,N-dimethylmethanamine, is a colorless liquid with rancid odour. The chemical structure of DMFDMA presents two important sites, a partially positive carbon that acts as an electrophile in condensation reactions and a partially negative nitrogen that acts as a nucleophile. Because of its structure, DMFDMA reacts with many different organic groups and can be a versatile reagent used in gas chromatography, as a protecting group and as a C1 synthon, especially in the construction of heterocycles.
期刊介绍:
Australian Journal of Chemistry - an International Journal for Chemical Science publishes research papers from all fields of chemical science. Papers that are multidisciplinary or address new or emerging areas of chemistry are particularly encouraged. Thus, the scope is dynamic. It includes (but is not limited to) synthesis, structure, new materials, macromolecules and polymers, supramolecular chemistry, analytical and environmental chemistry, natural products, biological and medicinal chemistry, nanotechnology, and surface chemistry.
Australian Journal of Chemistry is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
