METHYLAMINE SOLUTION 40%
Methylamine solution may be used as a LC-MS/MS mobile phase in the perchlorate analysis of milk and yogurt samples. It may be used in the synthesis of the following: 9-fluorenylmethyl N-methylcarbamate and tert-butyl N-methylcarbamate. It has a strong odor similar to fish. Methylamine is used as a building block for the synthesis of numerous other commercially available compounds.
Methylamine solution is a 33wt. % solution of methylamine in absolute ethanol. Methylamine is an aliphatic primary amine. It participates in the synthesis of isothiazolium salts. Chemical degradation of methylamine solution of γ-irradiated poly(ε-caprolactone) has been described.
Methylamine can irritate the lungs. Repeated exposure may cause bronchitis to develop with cough, phlegm, and/or shortness of breath. * High exposure may affect the liver.
Methylamine must be stored to avoid contact with mercury, flammable materials, and strong oxidizers, (such as chlorine dioxide, or bromine), since violent reactions occur. Store in Tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat.
