N-甲基甲酰胺（NMF）是一种甲酰胺衍生物，被广泛用作有机溶剂。NMF分子含有C=O和N-H基团，因此，它可以作为质子供体和受体。它在小鼠中的抗肿瘤活性已被评估。NMF的光外差检测光学Kerr效应（OHD-OKE）光谱评估已被报道。由于NMF具有重要的物理性质，如高介电常数、高溶解度、低电导率和两性性质，因此，它适合用作毛细管电泳研究的分离介质。 N-甲基甲酰胺可用于制备： • Li2S-P2S5 固体电解质（SE） • 质子化层状硅酸盐（麦烃硅钠石）的夹层压缩材料 • Li3PS4 固体电解质 N-Methylformamide (NMF), a formamide derivative, is widely employed as an organic solvent. NMF molecule contains C=O and N-H groups, so it can act as a proton donor and acceptor. Its antitumor activities in mice have been assessed. Optical-heterodyne-detected optical Kerr effect (OHD-OKE) spectroscopic evaluation of NMF has been reported. Due to its important physical properties such as high dielectric constant, high solubility, low conductivity and amphiprotic nature, it is suitable for use as a separation medium in capillary electrophoresis studies. N-Methylformamide may be employed in the preparation of the following: • Li2S-P2S5 solid electrolytes (SE) • interlayer-condensed materials of protonated layered silicate (magadiite) • Li3PS4 solid electrolyte Application N-Methylformamide is used to prepare methyl isocyanate. It is used as an extraction solvent for aromatic hydrocarbons and acts as a ligand in coordination chemistry. It is employed as a solvent in oil refineries and in aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Further, it is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. In addition to this, it is used as an investigational anticancer drug and an intermediate in the production of some pharmaceutical compounds.
