Dimethyl Formamide

(1/3) > >>

JonE:
Is DMF a tough chemical to acquire?  And wouild it be better just to use Formamide in place of DMF for Bright Star's synthesis.

Chromic:
Yes, dimethylformamide, diethylformamide and formamide are all ok to use as a solvent for ketone production ala Brightstar (says so in the synth, btw). But, easier yet... it's also possible to use MeOH as the solvent.

Slappy:
Just about an polar aprotic solvent should work, though your yeild might suffer. But, if you are going to use alcohol, use Isopropanol.

formula54:
I was wondering how somone would alter bright star if they wanted to use MeOH as a solvent.

noj:
instead of DMF use methanol. Reflux. Look at MethylMan's wacker.
