equilibrium constant at 25 °C. The partition coefficient log P_OW is measured to -0.85. Since the density of DMF (0.95 g·cm⁻³ at 20 °C) is similar to that of water, significant flotation or stratification in surface waters in case of accidental losses is not expected.

Reactions

DMF is hydrolyzed by strong acids and bases, especially at elevated temperatures. With sodium hydroxide, DMF converts
