Hygroscopic. Moisture sensitive. Incompatible with oxidizing agents.

RUO – Research Use Only

General References:

More convenient source of formamidine than the corresponding chloride in that it is non-hygroscopic and, being the salt of a weaker acid, can often be used in synthesis without the need to liberate the free base.
Widely used in heterocyclic syntheses, for example of pyrimidine and imidazole derivatives.
