● 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.1,3-Dimethylurea is an organic compound with the formula (CH3)2NC(O)NH2. It is a colorless crystalline solid with high solubility in water. 1,3-Dimethylurea is commonly used as a solvent and catalyst in organic synthesis. It can be used in the synthesis of various compounds such as dyes, fluorescent dyes, and plastics. In the pharmaceutical industry, 1,3-dimethylurea is also used to synthesize some pharmaceutical intermediates. In addition, it is used in industries such as coatings and adhesives. It is important to note that 1,3-dimethylurea is irritating to the skin and eyes, so proper safety precautions should be taken when handling.
● 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.
