N,N-Dimethylbenzamide

Product Description

Product Name	N,N-Dimethylbenzamide Systematic name: Benzamide, N,N-dimethyl-
CAS No.	611-74-5
EC No.	210-279-2
Formula and Molecular Weight	C9H11NO (Molecular Weight: 149.19)
Chemical Structure
Product Type	Low-melting aromatic tertiary amide; organic synthesis reagent and catalyst ligand/donor
Typical Specification	Appearance: White to light-yellow crystals, lumps or low-melting solid; may become a clear liquid above its melting point Assay: ≥98.0% Water: ≤0.5% Melting Point: 43–45°C
Reference Properties and Safety	Physical State: Normally a low-melting solid at 20°C Reference Boiling Point: 132–133°C at 15 mmHg Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from heat and strong oxidizing agents Safety: May irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory tract and may be harmful if swallowed. Read the batch-specific SDS and use appropriate protection before handling Transport: The supplier SDS reviewed for this page lists the material as not regulated by DOT, IATA or IMDG. Actual transport must follow the relevant batch SDS, packaging and destination regulations
Key Applications	Secondary Alcohol Deoxygenation: Used as a reagent or reaction-system component in reported secondary alcohol deoxygenation chemistry. Reaction conditions, associated reagents and substrate suitability must be validated by the customer. Metal Catalyst Systems: May function as an oxygen-donor ligand or donor in selected metal-catalyst and coordination-chemistry systems. Hydrotrope Research: Investigated as an aromatic hydrotrope for increasing the aqueous solubility of poorly soluble compounds. This research use does not mean the material is automatically suitable for pharmaceutical formulation; separate regulatory and safety assessment is required. Organic Synthesis and Fine Chemicals: May be evaluated as an aromatic tertiary-amide reagent, intermediate or specialty polar process medium in customer-validated fine-chemical synthesis.
Packaging and Documentation	Packaging: Final packaging is confirmed according to product form, order quantity and shipping conditions. Documents: Batch-specific COA, SDS and specification confirmation can be provided according to the product and order. Handling Note: Because its melting point is close to common storage temperatures, the product may change between solid and liquid during storage or transport. This physical phase change does not by itself indicate decomposition or a quality failure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CAS 611-74-5?	CAS 611-74-5 is N,N-Dimethylbenzamide, an aromatic tertiary amide with the molecular formula C9H11NO. It is not N,N-dimethylaniline.
Is N,N-Dimethylbenzamide the same as DEBA?	No. DEBA commonly refers to N,N-Diethylbenzamide, CAS 1696-17-9, which is a different substance. Some publications abbreviate N,N-Dimethylbenzamide as DMBA or DMB, but these abbreviations can also be ambiguous. Purchasing documents should use the full chemical name and CAS 611-74-5.
Why can the product be either solid or liquid?	N,N-Dimethylbenzamide has a melting point of approximately 43–45°C. It is normally a low-melting solid at room temperature but can become a clear liquid above its melting point. Recrystallization after cooling is generally a normal physical phase change.
What is N,N-Dimethylbenzamide used for?	Published sources describe uses in secondary alcohol deoxygenation, catalyst ligand or donor systems, hydrotrope research and other organic synthesis work. Commercial suitability must be evaluated against the customer's process, quality and regulatory requirements.
Is it regulated as dangerous goods?	The supplier SDS reviewed for this page lists it as not regulated by DOT, IATA or IMDG. The material still presents health hazards, and actual transport and handling must follow the corresponding batch SDS, packaging conditions and applicable regulations.
What documents can Royalchem provide?	Batch-specific COA, SDS and specification confirmation can be provided according to the product and order. Please identify any special requirements for water, impurity profile, metal ions or packaging when requesting a quotation.
