dimethylamino

Pronunciation: [daɪˈmɛθɪlˌəˈmiːnoʊ]

Word

Context: "chemistry"

(adjective) a term used to describe a chemical group that has two methyl groups (like small parts called 'methyl' that have one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms) attached to an amino group (a part containing nitrogen and hydrogen). In simple words, it’s a specific mix of important chemical parts.

Example

The scientist used a dimethylamino compound in the experiment to see how it would react with other substances.

Example

This solution does not contain any dimethylamino groups, so it won't work for our test.

Example

Can you explain what dimethylamino means in this chemical formula?
