Methylhydrazine, with the chemical formula CH6N2 and CAS number 60-34-4, is a colorless, flammable liquid with a distinctive ammonia-like odor. It is a simple hydrazine derivative, characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the hydrazine backbone. Methylhydrazine is highly reactive and serves as a propellant in rocket fuel formulations, particularly in hypergolic propellants, where it ignites spontaneously upon contact with an oxidizer. The substance is soluble in water and various organic solvents, making it versatile in chemical applications. However, it is also toxic and poses significant health risks, including potential carcinogenic effects, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures. Methylhydrazine can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution, and is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to its hazardous nature, it is classified as a hazardous material, and its use is regulated in many countries.
