Formamide has active reactivity and special solubility. It can be used as organic synthetic raw material, paper treatment agent, softener for fiber industry, softener for animal glue, and analytical reagent for determining the content of amino acids in rice. In organic synthesis, most of them are used in medicine, and also in pesticides, dyes, pigments, spices, and additives.
It is used as an intermediate to synthesize imidazole, pyrimidine, 1,3,5-triazine, caffeine, theobromine and theobromine. Used as raw materials for dyes, spices, pigments, adhesives, textile auxiliaries, paper processing agents, etc. Raw materials for the production of formic acid and dimethylformamide.
It is also an excellent organic solvent, mainly used in the spinning of acrylonitrile copolymer and ion exchange resin, as well as the anti-static coating or conductive coating of plastic products. In addition, it is also used to separate chlorosilane and purify oil. Formamide can undergo a variety of reactions. In addition to three hydrogen reactions, it can also undergo dehydration, CO removal, introduction of amino groups, introduction of acyl groups and cyclization.
