N-Hydroxymethylacetamide Information

  N-Hydroxymethylacetamide is can be called Acetamidomethanol, Formicin, N-Acetylmethanolamine, N-Hydroxymethylacetamide.
In the room temperature, it is stable. N-Hydroxymethylacetamidecan soluble in water and hydrophilic solvents, and it also can dissolve in the fatty acid esters, but almost insoluble in hydrophobic solvents. In addition, it can burn, toxic and irritating. N-Hydroxymethylacetamide is most commonly used as dye intermediatesThe presence of acid solution, heating rapidly aggregate into insoluble resin. Contain aggregate performance of the molecular structure of vinyl and condensation performance, linear polymers are most effective.

White crystal, melting point 97-98 ° C
It may have chloromethylation reaction for aromatic hydrocarbons [avoid carcinogen bis (chloromethyl) ether and amide methylation reagent 1,2.
There are something one should be careful with N-Hydroxymethylacetamide: Firstly, do not breathe dust. Secondly, one should prevent it from skin and eye contact.
