Dimethylformamide

Dimethylformamide, also known as DMF, is an organic compound represented by the formula (CH₃)₂NC(O)H. It is a colourless, water-miscible liquid with excellent solvency properties, widely recognised as a versatile solvent for chemical reactions and industrial processes. While pure DMF is odourless, technical-grade samples may emit a faint fishy odour due to dimethylamine impurities.
