  • High-boiling dipolar aprotic solvent. The polar nature, wide liquid range and high solvent power of tetraalkylureas make them suitable solvents for a wide range of reactions; review: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 18, 503 (1979).
  • Reacts with oxalyl chloride to give tetramethyl chloroformamidinium chloride, a useful reagent for the conversion of carboxylic acids and dialkyl phosphates to anhydrides and pyrophosphates respectively: Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 56, 3529 (1983).
