Results and discussion

Boiling point
Boiling pt.:
ca. 153 °C
Atm. press.:
1 atm
Remarks on result:
other: In the various reports, boiling point varies from 152 to 153.5 °C, but the majority enters a value of 153 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The boiling point for DMF is 153 °C, but the mixture of DMF and DMF.HCl will probably have a deviating boiling point. Based on the boiling point of HCl (108.5 °C at 1.013 hPa as reported in SIDS, UNEP publications) and the reported boiling point of DMF (153 °C at 1.013 hPa), the boiling point of the mixture DMF and DMF.HCl will probably be > 100 °C).
