Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride Usage And Synthesis
OverviewDimethylcarbamoyl chloride is a useful intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and dyes. However, due to its high toxicity that may induce both acute effects and be of cancer risk, it is strictly limited for application[1].
ProductionDimethylcarbamoyl chloride has been produced since 1961(IARC 1999)[2]. In 2009, it was produced commercially by one manufac¬turer in Europe and two manufacturers in India[3] and was available from 17 suppliers worldwide, including 8 U.S. suppliers[4]. No data on U.S. imports or exports of dimethyl¬ carbamoyl chloride were found. Under the U.S. Environmental Pro¬tection Agency’s Toxic Substances Control Act Inventory Update Rule, production plus imports of dimethylcarbamoyl chloride totaled be¬ tween 10,000 and 500,000 lb in 1990; no other inventory update re¬ports were filed[5].
Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride can be manufactured by the following several methods[6-8]:
  • The reaction between phosgene and dimethylamine(DMA), which is the earliest method[6];
  • The reaction between phosgene with trimethylamine[7];
  • The reaction between dimethylamine chloride with carbon monoxide under pressure, room temperature and using palladium as catalyst[8].

Physiochemical propertiesDimethylcarbamoyl chloride appears as a clear liquid at room temperature with a pungent odor and a tear-penetrating effect, which decomposes rapidly in water[1-2].
Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride is similar with an acid chloride whose chlorine atom can be exchanged for other nucleophiles. Therefore, it is capable of reacting with alcohols, phenols and oximes to the corresponding N, N-dimethylcarbamates, with thiols to thiolourethanes, with amines and hydroxylamine to substituted ureas, and with imidazoles and triazoles to carbamoylazoles[9].
ApplicationsDimethylcarbamoyl chloride is used as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and dyes[10]. It is a reagent being capable of transferring a dimethylcarbamoyl group to alcoholic or phenolic hydroxyl groups forming dimethyl carbamates with pharmacological or pesticidal activities[11]. Dimethylcarbamoyl Chloride is also a reagent used in the induction of apoptosis in human lung adenocarcinoma by T-type calcium channel antagonist[12].
Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride is used as the starting material for the insecticide class of the dimethyl carbamates which act as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase such as dimetilane and the related compounds isolane, pirimicarb and triazamate[13,14].
Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride can be used for the manufacturing of the quaternary ammonium compounds neostigmine, which finds pharmaceutical applications as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors[15].
Dimethylcarbamoyl chloride is also used in the synthesis of the benzodiazepine camazepam[16].


Warning and RiskDimethylcarbamoyl chloride can cause acute effect if not used properly. It is also a potential carcinogenic regent due to its high toxicity[17-20].
Acute effect
Workers exposing to dimethylcarbamoyl chloride can suffer from both eye irritation and liver disturbance. Acute inhalation exposure to dimethylcarbamoyl chloride has been found to result in damaged mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and lungs and cause difficulty in breathing in rats. Rats and rabbits experiments have also demonstrated that acute dermal exposure can cause skin irritation as well as conjunctivitis and keratitis in eyes. In addition, acute exposure of rats has also demonstrated dimethylcarbamoyl chloride to have high acute toxicity via inhalation and moderate acute toxicity via ingestion[17].
Cancer Risk
There are inadequate data on the carcinogenic effects of dimethylcarbamoyl chloride in humans[18, 21,22]. However, cancer risk of dimethylcarbamoyl chloride has been demonstrated in the rats and mice experiments. Inhalation exposure has been found to induce nasal tract carcinomas in rats and male hamsters. Skin tumors have also been observed among dermally exposed mice. Moreover, local sarcomas have been observed following subcutaneous injection in mice[21,22].
