Use | methylhydrazine is an intermediate of the herbicide pyrisulfuron-methyl, the acaricide, and the acaricide, zacaride, and pyrimethamine. used in organic synthesis. N-methyl dimethyl hydrazide can be obtained by the acylation reaction of hydrazine sulfate. Formic acid, sodium formate and hydrazine sulfate were added into the glass-lined reaction pot, and the temperature was slowly raised to 110-115 ° C., followed by stirring for 1.5h. It was cooled to 5 ° C., filtered and washed with absolute ethanol. The filtrate was washed together, concentrated under reduced pressure and extracted with chloroform. The aggressive liquid was distilled off chloroform under reduced pressure, allowed to cool, and anhydrous ethanol and ether were added. A solid precipitated out, was filtered, washed with a small amount of diethyl ether, and was dried in direct air to obtain N-methyldimethylhydrazide. Melting point 50-51 °c. The yield ranged from 70% to 80%. For the production of the drug methylphenylhydrazine. Hydrazine is also used in rocket fuel. |
production method | hydrazine hydrate, benzaldehyde as raw materials, by condensation, methylation reaction derived. 39% hydrazine hydrate was added to the reaction pot, and Benzaldehyde was added dropwise with stirring at 20-30 ° C. For about 7 hours, and stirring was continued for 2 hours, and the mixture was left overnight. The next day, it was filtered, washed with water until it was nearly neutral, and dried to obtain granular solid benzylidene nitrogen, melting point 90-93 ° C., yield over 95%. Benzene, benzylidene nitrogen and dimethyl sulfate were added into the reaction pot, and the mixture was refluxed for 5H under closed stirring. After cooling, solid was precipitated, water was added, the solid was dissolved, layered, and subjected to steam distillation until Benzaldehyde was not distilled out. Anhydrous ethanol was added to precipitate a solid, which was cooled and filtered to obtain methyl hydrazine sulfate. The yield was 60%-70%. The product is prepared by reacting methylamine with chloramine (NH2Cl). CH3NH2+NH2Cl→CH3NHNH2+HCl |
