General description

Hexamethylphosphoramide is a polar aprotic solvent.

Application

Hexamethylphosphoramide can be used as a solvent:
  • For the conversion of carboxylate salt into esters by reacting with alkyl halides.
  • To synthesize aryl thioethers via nucleophilic displacement of unactivated aryl halides by thiolate ions.
  • To synthesize polyazomethines (PAZs) from dialdehyde and diamine via high-temperature solution polycondensation.
