Oxamide

Enhance your pharmaceutical synthesis and specialty polymer projects with oxamide (CAS No.: 471-46-5, CAT No.: SRCO-008). This symmetrical diamide of oxalic acid serves as a versatile reagent for bis-amide formation, nitrocellulose stabilizer, and precursor to oxamide-hydrazone hybrids with demonstrated anticancer potential through kinase and calpain inhibition.

With a molecular formula of C₂H₄N₂O₂ and a molecular weight of 88.07 g/mol, oxamide appears as a white crystalline powder with exceptional thermal stability (decomposes >300C). Sparingly soluble in water (0.37 g/L) but soluble in hot ethanol, its low solubility enables controlled-release fertilizer applications while supporting clean reactions in organic synthesis.
