Title: NNDMA (N, N-Dimethylacrylamide)
Post by: scienceforrevolution on February 01, 2012, 10:13:05 AM

Is there anything you can do to NNDMA (N, N-Dimethylacrylamide) to turn it in to N-dimethyl formamide? For example, can it be as simple as replacing one ion with another?

React with KMnO4, followed by heat (decarboxylation)
