It is a white crystalline solid, very soluble in water and in polar organic solvents, with a melting point of about 80 °C and an unusually wide liquid range up to its boiling point at 221 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat combination is what makes it useful. Molten acetamide is a high-boiling, strongly polar solvent that dissolves many salts and organic compounds, so it is used as a reaction medium, as a plasticiser in coatings and textile processing, and as a starting material in organic synthesis. In the laboratory it also serves as a reference amide in spectroscopy, crystallisation and physical-chemistry teaching work, and as a nitrogen source in studies of microbial amidase activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"warn\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHazard note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acetamide is classified under the GHS as a Category 2 carcinogen (H351, suspected of causing cancer) and is listed by IARC in Group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans.

It is classified as a Category 2 carcinogen under the GHS, with hazard statement H351, suspected of causing cancer, and IARC lists it in Group 2B. It is not acutely toxic and is not a dangerous good for transport, but it does need carcinogen handling controls: a fume hood or ventilated enclosure for weighing, gloves, eye protection and a documented risk assessment.

Keep the container tightly closed, reseal it straight after weighing, and store it in a dry place. Caking affects handling but not the assay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does it smell like?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure acetamide is close to odourless. A sharp mousy or ammoniacal smell means some of the material has hydrolysed to ammonium acetate, usually after exposure to moisture. Check the appearance and melting point before using a jar that smells strongly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow soluble is it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery. About 2000 g per litre of water at 20 °C, so roughly two parts by weight in one part water. It also dissolves readily in methanol, ethanol and glycerol, and is only slightly soluble in diethyl ether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it as a solvent above its melting point?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, and this is one of its main uses. It melts at about 80 °C and does not boil until 221 °C, giving a wide molten range as a polar, high-boiling medium.
