Dimethyl urea is an organic molecule that comes from urea and has two hydrogen atoms replaced by methyl groups. It is often employed as a middle step in making drugs, agrochemicals, and resins.
Dimethyl urea is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of 88.11 g/mol. It melts between 106 and 109 °C and dissolves well in water. Under normal conditions, it is stable chemically and does not evaporate.
C₃H₈N₂O is the chemical formula for dimethyl urea, and 1,3-dimethylurea is its IUPAC designation. There is a urea core with two methyl groups connected to the nitrogen atoms.
Dimethyl urea is a common chemical building block for making drugs, herbicides, and resins. It also helps make cosmetics and other personal care goods.
Dimethyl urea is not very dangerous, but you should still take normal lab safety precautions when working with it. Do not breathe it in or touch it directly, and keep it in a cool, dry area.
