| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Colorless crystals. | [Reactivity Profile]
N,N'-DIMETHYLUREA(96-31-1) is an amide. Amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx). | [Air & Water Reactions]

white crystals | [Uses]
N,N′-Dimethylurea can be used:
- As a starting material to synthesize N,N′-dimethyl-6-amino uracil.
- In combination with β-cyclodextrin derivatives, to form low melting mixtures (LMMs), which can be used as solvents for hydroformylation and Tsuji-Trost reactions.
- To synthesize N,N′-disubstituted-4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidinones via Biginelli condensation under solvent-free conditions.
| [Definition]
ChEBI: A member of the class of ureas that is urea substituted by methyl groups at positions 1 and 3. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the urea from acetone/diethyl ether by cooling in an ice bath. Also crystallise it from EtOH and dry it at 50o/5mm for 24hours [Bloemendahl & Somsen J Am Chem Soc 107 3426 1985]. [Beilstein 4 IV 207.] |
| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
1, 3-Dimethylurea is a urea derivative and used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is a colorless crystalline powder with little toxicity. It is also used for synthesis of caffeine, pharmachemicals, textile aids, herbicides and other. In the textile processing industry 1,3-dimethylurea is used as intermediate for the production of formaldehyde-free easy-care finishing agents for textiles. In the Swiss Product Register there are 38 products containing 1,3-dimethylurea, among them 17 products intended for consumer use. Product types are e.g. paints and cleaning agents. The content of 1,3-dimethylurea in consumer products is up to 10 % (Swiss Product Register, 2003). Use in cosmetics has been proposed, but there is no information available as to its actual use in such applications.
