Production
UDMH is produced industrially by two routes. One, based on the Raschig process, involves reaction of chloramine with dimethylamine. This method gives the hydrochloride of the hydrazine:
- (CH3)2NH + NH2Cl → (CH3)2NNH2HCl
Alternatively, acetylhydrazine can be N-methylated using formaldehyde to give the N,N-dimethyl-N'-acetylhydrzine, which can subsequently be hydrolyzed:
- (CH3C(O)NHNH2 + 2 CH2O + 2 H2 → (CH3C(O)NHN(CH3)2 + 2 H2O
- (CH3C(O)NHN(CH3)2 + H2O → (CH3CO2H + H2NN(CH3)2

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
