Hazard Predictions

Although the following hazardous reactions have been reported in the chemical literature, we expect that these reactions will only occur at elevated temperatures; therefore, no hazards are expected at ambient temperatures:

DMF reacts violently with organic halides (including carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dibromide, and hexachlorobenzene), promoted by iron salts and by metals (Marsella, J. A. 2000. Dimethylformamide. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).

DMF or dimethylacetamide can react dangerously with CCl4 and 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane. However, dichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane do not show dangerous reactions with either DMF or dimethylacetamide (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 136.).
