Methylurea, also known as N-methylurea, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH4N2O. It is an organic compound belonging to the class of urea derivatives. Methylurea is derived from urea by substituting one of the hydrogen atoms with a methyl group (-CH3).Methylurea is commonly used in organic synthesis as a reagent or building block in various chemical reactions. It can serve as a source of the carbonyl group (-C=O) or the amino group (-NH2) in a variety of synthetic transformations. Methylurea is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes.It is important to handle methylurea with caution, as it may be toxic if ingested or if significant dermal exposure occurs.
