Chemical compound
Formamide is an amide derived from formic acid. It is a colorless liquid which is miscible with water and has an ammonia-like odor. It is chemical feedstock for the manufacture of sulfa drugs and other pharmaceuticals, herbicides and pesticides, and in the manufacture of hydrocyanic acid. It has been used as a softener for paper and fiber. It is a solvent for many ionic compounds. It has also been used as a solvent for resins and plasticizers.[4] Some astrobiologists suggest that it may be an alternative to water as the main solvent in other forms of life.[5]
Formamides are compounds of the type RR′NCHO. One important formamide is dimethylformamide, (CH3)2NCHO.
