As Megatherium once proclaimed, "Nobody makes DMF from scratch, this is a standard organic solvent"

Nitromethane can be distilled from RC fuel however, if you are thinking about putting an M in between MD A. UTFSE.

what about the Cl2 gas produced? its the only safety issue I see. heh...

The Na would react

Na2+ + 2e ---> Na + H20 ----> NaOH

but the Cl ion will

2Cl- ---> Cl2 + 2e

The Cl2 will need to go somewhere, but the NaOH would be made

using NaSO4 would result in some NaOH w/o any gas evolution.
