N-Methylformanilide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colourless to yellow liquid

Uses

Organic synthesis.

Uses

N-Methylformanilide is used as a formylating reagent for certain organometallics. It is in combination with phosphoryl chloride used for Vilsmeier-Haack reactions and in heterocycle syntheses. Further, it acts as a swelling agent in the dyeing process of meta-aramid fibers.
