General Description
N,N-Diethylacetamide is commonly used as drug solvent.
Hazard
Toxic by ingestion.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use foam, mist, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
Purification Methods
Dissolve the amide in cyclohexane, shake with anhydrous BaO and then filter. The procedure is repeated three times, and the cyclohexane is distilled off at atmospheric pressure. The crude amide is also fractionally distilled three times from anhydrous BaO. [Beilstein 4 III 349.]
