1. Basic Information
Name: N,N-Dimethylacetamide
Abbreviation: DMAc, DMAC
Alias: Acetic acid dimethylamide
CAS No.: 127-19-5
Molecular Formula: C4H9NO
Molecular Weight: 87.12
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid
- Odor: Faint weak amine odor
- Solubility: Miscible with water, alcohols, ketones, esters, ethers and aromatic solvents; slightly soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: ?20 °C
- Boiling Point: 165–166 °C
- Density: 0.942 g/cm3 (20 °C)
- Refractive Index: 1.438 (20 °C)
- Hygroscopicity: Strongly hygroscopic, readily absorbs moisture from air
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: Polar aprotic amide solvent; acetyl group bonded to dimethyl-substituted nitrogen atom
- Hydrolysis behavior: Slow hydrolysis at room temperature; rapid decomposition under strong acid / strong alkali heating to generate acetic acid and dimethylamine
- Polar dissolving capacity: Excellent solubility for polymers, resins, pharmaceuticals, inorganic metal salts and aromatic compounds
- Thermal stability: Stable below 140 °C; prolonged high temperature leads to partial degradation and amine release
- Photostability: Stable under indoor ambient light; long-term UV exposure turns pale yellow
- Compatibility: Compatible with most polar organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong acids, strong dehydrating agents and alkali metals

Safety Warning
Toxic organic amide liquid with skin penetration risk. Vapor irritates eyes, mucous membranes and respiratory tract; long-term skin contact may cause liver adverse effects. All operations must be performed in ventilated fume hood with chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles. Strictly airtight storage to prevent moisture absorption and hydrolysis. Waste liquid belongs to nitrogen-containing organic hazardous waste and requires professional centralized disposal. Avoid mixing with concentrated acid or alkali to prevent release of corrosive dimethylamine gas.
