      dimethyl formamide substitutes     

would dimethyl ethylamide be a suitable substitute for dimethylformamide in a dithionate reduction of imines?
ie would CH3-(C=O)-(CH3-N-CH3) have the same properties as
H-(C=O)-(CH3-N-CH3) in a dithionate reduction conditions?

      Dimethylacetamide     

Yes, that would be reasonable to believe. The boiling point and such is different though.

      i looked up the synth n decided that i cant...     

ok i looked up the synth for said substance.it seems it is a very tedious way of making it(all be it with simple chemicals).how much simpler would the reaction be if the acid halide was used with the amine instead?
would this simply be a case of gassing the acid halide with amine gas without the need of heat or very litle heat.then making your freebase and maybe distilling from the NaCl or what have u.infact fuc the gassing if thats possible how about rfluxing the shit out of acetic acid and dimethylamineHCl?i have no idea if thatll work but it seems easier to handle.
