N,N-Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal is used as an intermediate in the formation of pyridine derivatives, which exhibits inhibition against PI3 kinase p110alfa enzymes. It is utilized for the derivatization of primary sulfonamides and trifluoroacetic acid. It is also used in the preparation of formamidine derivatives. It is used as a reagent for n-dimethylaminomethylene and methyl esters. Further, it is used to catalyze the coupling of epoxides with carbon dioxide to prepare cyclic carbonates.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
