Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to find that the decomposition of asymmetric dimethylhydrazine (I) in soils occurred with the formation of dimethylamine, formaldehyde dimethylhydrazone, methylhydrazine, trimethylhydrazine, N-nitrosodimethylamine, 1-methyl-1,2,4-triazole, formic acid dimethylhydrazide, 1,5,5-trimethylformazane, 1-methyl-1,6-dihydro-1,2,4,5-tetrazine, N,N-dimethylaminoguanidine, and several other products. High-reliability structure identification was achieved using independent methods, including gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, 1H and 13C NMR, and UV spectroscopy, and by measuring retention times and spectral characteristics after the counter-synthesis of the suggested structures. The products of the decomposition of I potentially capable of forming initial I and characterized by high migration mobility in soils were identified.
