DIMETHYL UREA
Dimethylurea (DMU) (IUPAC systematic name: 1,3-Dimethylurea ) is a urea derivative and used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is a colorless crystalline powder with little toxicity.
N,N-Dimethyl urea (DMU) (1,3-dimethyl urea, methyl carbamide) is a colourless solid and a non-volatile, versatile and powerful reagent for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. It is used for the synthesis of caffeine, theophylline, pharmaceuticals, textile aids, herbicides, etc. It also finds application in metal-ion complexation, material science, etc.
DMU can be prepared by the reaction of methylamine with carbon dioxide.
Preparation of Dimethyl Urea:
Among the objects of this invention are the provision of efficient methods for preparing dimethyl urea; the provision of methods of the type indicated which may be easily carried out; the provision of methods of the type referred to which utilize relatively inexpensive media; and the provision of methods of the type indicated which produce a highyield of dimethyl urea. Other objects will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises the steps and sequence of steps, and features of synthesis, analysis, or metathesis, which will be exemplified in the processes hereinafterdescribed, and the scope of the application of which will be indicated in the following claims.
Dimethyl urea has been previously prepared he employment of an organic solvent has heretofore been considered. absolutely essential. Because ffthe well-known reactivity of phosgene with watenit has been heretofore believed impossible to cause phosgene to react in any great proportion with an amine in an aqueous solution. In an aqueous solution it would have beenpredictedthat the phosgene would react preferentially with the water.- In accordance with the present invention I have made the surprising discovery that the reaction of methyl amine and phosgene to form dimethyl urea, in the presence of a caustic alkali, such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, reaction may be easily carried out in a single aqueous medium. The methyl amine is merely dissolved in the aqueous medium, which maybe water or water containing one or more inert components. The phosgene is slowly added as such by merely adding it to the methyl amine solution; Contrary to the teachings of the art I have found that it is not necessary to dissolve the phosgene in a vehicle or solvent, but that the reaction easily takes place with high yields where the phosgene is merely added to an aqueous solution or methyl amine.
In this way, the obvious diiflculties of handling a solution of phosgene in an organic solvent are avoided, and, although such a solution affords a means for controlling the reaction, it has been found that the reaction may be effectively controlled in other ways to utilize the advantages of the present invention.
The following examples illustrate the invention:
Example 1 A twenty-gallon, jacketed, glass-lined kettle, fitted with an emcient stirrer, thermometer, an inlet tube arranged for delivery of phosgene below the surface of the liquor, and provided with valves to control the rate of flow. Sodium hy droxide solution (7.55 gallons), 9.7 normal, was placed in a calibrated tank and connected through i a valve to the inlet tube. Phosgene was admitted to the well-stirred reaction mixture at the rate of about five pounds' per hour. The cooling water was circulated through the jacket to keep the reaction mixture at about 18 C. After several pounds of phosgene had been admitted, the gradual addition of sodium hydroxide solution was begun and maintained at such a rate that at no time was there an excess of sodium hydroxide present over the amount necessary to react with the chloride produced by the reaction of the phosgene with methyl amine. The rate of addition of phosgene was balanced against the cooling provided by the circulation ofwater so that the temperature was maintained constant at about 18 C.
After about 80% of the theoretical amount of phosgene had been introduced at a maximum rate of about flvepounds per hour, the rate of addition was decreased somewhat and the last part of the reaction was conducted at a lower solution was adjusted so that it exactly balanced the proportion of phosgene at the endof. the reaction.
The reaction product consisted of a solution of dimethyl urea containing some sodium chloride in suspension. The reaction mixture weighed 155 pounds and analysis showed that it contained 24 pounds of dimethyl urea having a freezing point of 101 C. This corresponds to a yield of 90% of theoretical based on the methyl amine used as starting material. It was found further that the reaction mixture contained about of unreacted methyl amine which could be recovered and re-used by appropriate procedures. Taking into account the recovered methyl amine, than a theoretical amount of phosgene.
the yield of dimethyl urea was practically Example 2 Materials were combined in the same manner and proportions as described in Example 1 except that the temperature of the reaction was maintained at -35 C. and an excess of phosgene amounting to 5.5% was employed. The product was shown by analysis to contain 81% of the theoretical amount of dimethyl urea and 14% of unreacted methyl amine. The-dimethyl urea was contaminated by by-products so that the crude material had a freezing point of 89.9 C. The dimethyl urea can be recovered as-described in Example 1, but the crude product obtained under these conditions usually was less pure.
Example 3 Example 1 was repeated but,-in lieu of the aqueous methyl amine solution, the kettle was" charged with water, and methyl amine in gaseous form was delivered below the surface of the .water at the rate of about five pounds per hour through another inlet tube. Comparable results were obtained. Efffective stirring prevents overheating and aids heat transfer to control the temperature so that it is not substantially above 50 C.
It is preferred that the reaction mixture be naintained at a temperature of approximately 18 ,C. Lower temperatures are not detrimental C. deleterlously affects the yield and quality 0! the product.
In general it is preferred that not more than a theoretical proportion of phosgene be used, since an excess tends to promote side reactions. Satisfactory results can be obtained by using less For example, excellent results are obtained with 90% of theoretical. 1
The caustic should be added at such a rate that it is consumed as it is added; that is, the rate of addition is controlled so that at no time durin the reaction is there an excess of caustic present. Preferably, the reaction is permitted to occurto the extent of about 10-25% before the addition of the caustic is begun. It may be added continuously as the reaction takes place, or peri ably of a concentration of about 35% by weight.
However, more concentrated or more dilute solutions may be employed, although in general it is preferred that the concentration not be substantially below 10% or above 50%.
In view of the above, it will be seen that the several objects of the invention are achieved and other advantageous results attained.
As many changes could be made in the above processes without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

The goal of healthy strong nails is a balance between nail hardness and flexibility. Hard nails are great, but there is such a thing as over hardening the nail plate. The harder that your nails get the more brittle they become. The nail plate must balance both characteristics, hardness and flexibility, to retain health, stability, and length. We can balance the hardness with nail flexibility by moisturizing and taking a break from nail hardeners intermittently if needed.
Your nail bed is comprised of a protein called keratin. This protein has naturally occurring cross linkages in the filaments which give nails their hardness. However, not enough cross-links and the nail is very flexible and lacks strength. One way to create more cross-links in keratin is with the use of formaldehyde. However, formaldehyde is not for everyone for several reasons. A good replacement for formaldehyde based nail hardeners is Dimethyl Urea (DMU) based treatments.
Dimethyl Urea works exactly like formaldehyde in that it creates more cross linkages in the keratin, but has two main advantages:
1. Does not excessively create cross linkages
2. Is not likely to irritate skin
Apparently the cross linkage mechanism is much more controlled and fine tuned and therefore does not excessively harden the nail plate. You do not need to take intermittent breaks like with formaldehyde. Always evaluate and re-evaluate your nail situation periodically.
