Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing monomethylhydrazine by methylating hydrazine or hydrazinium hydrochloride or hydrazinium dihydrochloride with methyl chloride and/or a methano/HCl mixture, characterized in that the reaction mixture formed in the methylation is reacted with an organic base from the group of the alkylamines or alkanolamines and monomethylhydrazine is removed by distillation from the reaction mixture in a low boiler fraction and the low boiler fraction is optionally subjected to a further distillation.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the continuous synthesis of monoalkyl-hydrazines with a functionalized alkyl group. The inventive method is characterized in that it comprises a step consisting in demixing a solution containing the synthesized monoalkyl-hydrazine, by reacting an anhydrous amine with monochloramine, in an organic phase and an aqueous phase with the addition of anhydrous sodium hydroxide. The invention can be used to obtain perfect selectivity in relation to monoalkyl-hydrazine without the presence of the di- and tri-substituted forms thereof. According to the invention, the staffing amine which has not reacted is collected and reused directly without any additional treatment.

Abstract: Anhydrous hydrazine and hydrocarbyl-substituted hydrazines are efficiently prepared according to a three-step procedure, comprising a first step wherein ammonia, a primary or secondary amine, an alkali metal amide, an alkaline earth metal amide, a hydrocarbyl-substituted alkali metal amide or a hydrocarbyl-substituted alkaline earth metal amide is reacted with a chlorinating agent to produce the corresponding chloramine without co-production of an amine hydrochloride salt; a second step wherein the chloramine is reacted with a tertiary amine to produce a tertiary hydrazinium chloride; and a final step wherein the tertiary hydrazinium chloride is reacted with an alkali metal amide or an alkaline earth metal amide under anhydrous conditions to produce the desired product.
