A new method for synthesis of N,N-diethyl-m-methylbenzamide
Introduction: N, N-diethyl-m-methylbenzamide or N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), is well known as an insect repellent. In addition, it is used to improve the dermal and transdermal delivery of many drugs. Objectives: To present a feasible procedure to synthesize DEET from m-toluic acid and diethylam...

In addition, it is used to improve the dermal and transdermal delivery of many drugs. Objectives: To present a feasible procedure to synthesize DEET from m-toluic acid and diethylamine. Methods: The m-toluic acid was activated with 1,1'-carbonyl-diimidazole, to obtain the intermediate product 1- (m-toluoyl) imidazole that continues to react with diethylamine, to produce DEET.

Conclusions: An improved route has been provided for a simple and efficient synthesis of DEET from m-toluic acid and diethylamine in the presence of 1,1'-carbonyl-diimidazole.
