 | | Hydrazine is produced in the Olin Raschig process from sodium hypochlorite and ammonia, a process developed in 1907. |
 | | Acetone and ammonia first react to give the imine followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide to the oxaziridine, a three-membered ring containing carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, followed by ammonolysis to the hydrazone, a process that couples two nitrogen atoms. |
 | | Hydrazine is used in many processes including: production of spandex fibers, as a polymerization catalyst, a blowing agent, in fuel cells, solder, fluxes, and photographic developers, as a chain extender in urethane polymerizations, and heat stabilizers. |
