CAS 74-89-5: Methylamine

Description: Methylamine is a simple aliphatic amine with the chemical formula CH₃NH₂. It is characterized by its colorless, volatile liquid state at room temperature and has a strong, fishy odor. Methylamine is highly soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, which enhances its utility in various chemical reactions and applications. As a primary amine, it features a nitrogen atom bonded to one methyl group and two hydrogen atoms, making it a basic compound that can accept protons. Methylamine is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air, necessitating careful handling. It is commonly used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in organic chemistry. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for the production of various methylated compounds. Due to its basicity, methylamine can also participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it valuable in the preparation of more complex amines. Safety precautions are essential when working with methylamine, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
