N-Methylurea, also known as methylcarbamide or N-methylcarbamide, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3NHCONH2. It is a derivative of urea, where one of the hydrogen atoms on the nitrogen atom is replaced with a methyl group.N-Methylurea is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is commonly used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. N-Methylurea can participate in various reactions such as amidations, carbamoylations, and condensations.When handling N-Methylurea, it is important to follow safety precautions, including wearing appropriate protective equipment such as gloves and goggles, and working in a well-ventilated area. It is also advisable to consult the safety data sheet (SDS) for specific handling and disposal guidelines.
