Metabolite Identification
Common NameN,N-Dimethylformamide
DescriptionN,N-Dimethylformamide, also known as N-formyldimethylamine or DMF, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tertiary carboxylic acid amides. Tertiary carboxylic acid amides are compounds containing an amide derivative of carboxylic acid, with the general structure RN(R1)C(R2)=O (R1-R2 any atom but H). N,N-Dimethylformamide is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N,N-Dimethylformamide exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. N,N-Dimethylformamide is a potentially toxic compound.
