The dissociation constants of dibasic carboxylic acids $(HOOC(CH_2)_nCOOH$, n = 0~4] in methanol, N, N-dimethylformamide and acetonitrile have been determined by the potentiometric method with a glass electrode. The difference between over-all dissociation constants in each other solvent is found to be of the same order of magnitude, and the $K_1/K_2$ ratios in aprotic dimethylformamide and acetonitrile are much greater than those in protic methanol and water.

Reactions of N-acyl-1,4-dimethoxy-2-naphthylamines with N,N-dimethylformamide dialkyl acetals afforded, in all cases, the same product, N,N-dimethyl-N'-2-(1,4-dimethoxy)naphthylurea. In these reactions, it was observed that N,N-dimethylformamide dialkyl acetals act as a dimethylamination agent when electron-deficient cites are present in the substrates.

Acid dissociation constants of sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamerazine, sulfathiazole and sulfadiazine, and stability constants for formation of copper chelate were calculated from their titration curves in 80% dimethylformamide with ionic strength 0.1 at $25{\deg}$ It was found that the acid dissociation constants (pKa) of sulfa-drugs were in the range of 9.33 - 10.05, and the stability constants (log $k_{1}$, $k_{2})$ of their copper chelates were in the range of 9.33-9.71.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a method for the measurement of N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) and to apply the method to the ambient air samples. For the determination of DMF together with other general VOCs (e.g., benzene, toluene, and xylenes), adsorption sampling and thermal desorption with GC/MS was used in this study. The sampling and analytical approaches tested in this study showed a good repeatability and linearity with lower detection limits of less than 0.35 ppb. Field measurements were carried out at three industrial sites (Daegu-Seongseo, Siwha and Banwall industrial complexes) and one residential site in Daegu city during a period from October 2006 to November 2008. DMF was detected in 71.8% of the total samples from the Seongseo industrial complex, well known for textile industry. In contrast, DMF was detected in only 20.4% and 12.9% of all the samples from the other two sites in Banwall and Siwha industrial complexes, respectively. This implies that sources of DMF should be strongly associated with textile industry. The mean concentration of DMF also appeared to be the highest in Seongseo site (5.95 ppb), followed by a residential site in Daegu (3.28 ppb), Banwall (0.88 ppb) and Siwha (0.55 ppb). In this study, we demonstrated the environmental significance of DMF in urban ambient air. To our knowledge, the DMF measurement introduced in this paper is the first case of an official report in Korea.

The beneficial effect of glycerol as a cryoprotectant, especially for sperm cryopreservation, has been shown in many studies. However, glycerol is toxic to living cells, and boar sperm in particular show greater sensitivity to glycerol than sperm from other domestic animals. Amides have been studied as alternative cryoprotectants for freezing stallion sperm. Sperm frozen in methylformamide or dimethylformamide as cryoprotectants show similar motility when thawed compared with sperm frozen in glycerol. We evaluated the cryoprotective effects of dimethylformamide on boar sperm freezing. To test the effect of amides, the concentration of boar semen was adjusted to $10^9sperm/mL$, and seminal plasma was removed using Hulsen solution. After centrifugation, the pellet was diluted in modified-Modena B extender. Lactose-egg yolk (LEY) extender was used as the cooling extender. The freezing extender was madeed aaddition of the optimal amount of glycerol and amides to LEY-Glycerol-Orvus ES Paste extender, and this extender was used for the second dilution. Diluted sperm were frozen in liquid nitrogen using the 0.5 mL straw method. Sperm frozen in extender with glycerol as a cderol were compared with those frozen in extender including the different amides. Sperm were tested for motility, viability, the sperm chromatin structure assay, and normal apical ridge after thawing. The percent of motile sperm diluted in glycerol was as high as that in the stallion study (61%). Dimethylformamide showed positive effects on sperm quality and was better than glycerol. Methylformamide provided similar sperm quality as glycerol. Therefore, dimethylformamide is useful for reducing cryoinjury in boar sperm and is expected to be useful as an alternative cryoprotectant.

Depending upon the results obtained by the bromolactonization of olefinic acids (9-11) by means of N-bromosaccharin (4), the influence of the stabilities of the imidic anions resulted from heterolytic cleavage of N-haloimides, such as N-bromosuccinimide (1), N-bromophthalimde (2), and N-bromosaccharin (3) in dry N, N-dimethylformamide on the reactivity is elucidated.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to conduct a survey of dimethylformamide(DMF) content in polyurethane(PU)-based consumer products and provide the information for the PU manufacturer and company to prepare a countermeasure for improving the quality competitiveness. Methods: This study selected PU-based consumer products(toddler shoes, children's bag, children's play mat, safety gloves), which is closely used in everyday life, and analyzed the residual DMF content in the consumer products. Results: In this study, it was confirmed that the average DMF content of toddler shoes, children's bag, children's play mat and safety gloves are 38 ppm, 119 ppm, 396 ppm and 826 ppm, respectively. In addition, most of the samples were found to meet the internationally accepted standard of 1,000 ppm and the DMF contents were reduced from at least 63 % to 85 % with a single washing process. Conclusion: The domestic PU manufacturers should seek ways to reduce the DMF through their production facility applications and introducing new materials such as water-soluble PU, and preparing the process development for their quality competitiveness.

Polystyrene-poly(etheramic acid) core-shell particles were prepared by dispersion polymerization of styrene using poly(etheramic acid) obtained by the reaction of 2,2'-bis[4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) phenyl]propane dianhydride and 3,5-diamniobenzoic acid as a stabilizer. 4-Vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride was used as a comonomer to increase the binding efficiency of poly(etheramic acid). When the ethanol-water mixture (7 : 3) was used as a reaction medium, particles were stabilized well and the size distribution of particles was fairly narrow. The particle size increased with the amount of styrene. The particles polymerized in the dimethylformamide-water mixture had a broad size range. Polystyrene-poly(etheramic acid) core-shell particles were transformed to polystyrene-polyetherimide core-shell particles by the chemical imidization of shells.

Frequency spectra of the complex permittivity of 2-methoxyethanol (2-ME) with water, ethanol, dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N,N-dimethylacatamide (DMA) have been determined over the frequency range of 10 MHz to 20 GHz at 25 $^{\circ}C$, using the Time domain reflectometry method, for 11 concentrations for each system. The static dielectric constant, dielectric constant at microwave frequency, relaxation time, excess dielectric parameters, and Kirkwood correlation factor have been determined. The relaxation in these systems within the frequency range can be described by a single relaxation time constant, using the Debye model. The parameters show a systematic change with the concentration.

The effect of the hydrogen-bonding between thioacetamide (TA) and amides (N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) and N,N-dimethylpropionamide (DMP)) on the hindered rotation of N-C(S) bond of TA was investigated by the nmr spectroscopy. The $^1H$-nmr spectrum of $NH_2$ group in TA was distinctly separated into two peaks with increasing the amount of $CCl_4$ and the effect of amides on the peak separation was in the order of DMF < DMA < DMP. Those phenomena were interpreted in terms of hydrogen-bonding between TA and amide.
