Uses:

It is widely used in the refining of advanced lubricants, synthesis of polymers, insulating materials, pesticides, pigments and cleaning agents, etc.

Application 2】 It is an excellent solvent, widely used as extractant for aromatic hydrocarbon extraction, lube oil refining, acetylene concentration, synthetic gas desulfurization, etc. It is also used for industrial cleaning, etc.

N-Methylpyrrolidone is an excellent extraction solvent, widely used as extractant in the process of aromatic extraction, acetylene concentration, butadiene separation and desulfurization of synthesis gas, etc. It is also a solvent in the production of pesticides, engineering plastics, paints, synthetic fibers, integrated circuits, etc. It can also be used as industrial detergent, dispersant, dyeing agent, lubricant antifreeze agent, etc. The product has low toxicity, oral LD50 for rats is 7ml/kg.

 

Stability related:

1. Colorless liquid, with ammonia smell, the product has low toxicity. It can be miscible with water and soluble in most organic solvents such as ether and acetone. Can dissolve most organic and inorganic compounds, polar gases, natural and synthetic polymer compounds.
2. Chemical properties: relatively stable in neutral solution. After 8 hours in 4% sodium hydroxide solution, 50%-70% of it is hydrolyzed. In concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrolysis gradually occurs to produce 4-methylaminobutyric acid CH3NH(CH2)3COOH. due to the reaction of carbonyl group, it can produce condensation ketone or thio-pyrrolidone.

N-Methylpyrrolidone is weakly basic and can produce hydrochloride. It forms adducts with heavy metal salts, for example, with nickel bromide heated to 150°C to produce NiBr2(C5H9ON)3 with a melting point of 105°C.
