N-Methylformamide

In this report, the Committee evaluated N-methylformamide. N-methylformamide is used for instance, as intermediate in the synthesis of pesticides, as an extraction solvent for aromatic hydrocarbons, and in the manufacture of methyl isocyanate.

The Committee concludes that the available data is insufficient to evaluate the carcinogenic properties of N-methylformamide, and recommends classifying the compound in category 3.
