Measured properties

Values somebody obtained from a sample and published. Where two sources report the same property they are both shown, in the units each used — a disagreement between them is information, and averaging it away would be inventing a number neither one gave.

Calculated properties

Derived from the structure rather than from a sample. These are reproducible and they are not measurements: a calculated partition coefficient and a measured one can differ by a long way, and where both exist they are listed apart on purpose.

Functional groups

  • Amide

    A carbonyl bonded directly to nitrogen.

Matched by structural pattern, not by a measurement.

The molecule in three dimensions

Rotate and inspect the atoms. Loaded only when you ask, so the page stays light.

The drawing above is a diagram of what is bonded to what. A molecule is not flat, and the model here is one low-energy shape generated from the connectivity — useful for seeing which groups can reach each other, and not a measured structure. A real sample is a population of conformations, interconverting.

Other names for it

No systematic name is recorded.

The sources also call it N,N-DIMETHYLACETAMIDE, Acetamide, N,N-dimethyl-, Acetdimethylamide, DMAc, Dimethyl acetamide, N,N-Dimethyl acetamide, Dimethylamide acetate, N,N-Dimethylethanamide, Dimethylacetone amide, Acetic acid, dimethylamide, Acetyldimethylamine, Acetic acid dimethylamide.

Structurally related

The structural neighbours could not be read just now. That is a failed lookup rather than a finding.

What this page does not claim

The identifiers are what the source record holds, copied rather than recomputed. Measured values are reported as their source gave them, units and all; calculated values are marked as calculated and are not measurements. Where a field is absent the page says so, because a blank cell reads as a zero and a guessed value reads as a fact.

Nothing here is a hazard assessment, a purity statement or advice about handling a sample. A flash point quoted from a safety database is a number somebody published, not a judgement by us about whether this molecule is safe for what you intend.
