Methylamine is the chemical compound with a formula of CH3NH2. It is a derivative of ammonia, wherein one H atom is replaced by a methyl group. It is the simplest primary amine. It is usually sold as solutions in methanol (2M), ethanol (8M), THF (2M), and water (40%), or as the anhydrous gas in pressurized metal containers. It has a strong odour similar to rotten fish. Methylamine is used as a building block for the synthesis of other organic compounds, including many illicit drugs; in the United States, the DEA lists methylamine as a precursor, and purchases of any significant quantity are likely to arouse law enforcement attention.
