'''N-Methylmethanimine or N‐methyl methylenimine' is a reactive molecular substance containing a methyl group attached to an imine. It can be written as CH3N=CH2. On a timescale of minutes it self reacts to form the trimer trimethyl 1,3,5-triazinane. N''-Methylmethanimine is formed naturally in the Earth's atmosphere, by oxidation of dimethylamine and trimethylamine, both of which are produced by animals, or burning.

==Production== N-Methylmethanimine can be produced in two steps from dimethylamine, by first chlorinating the nitrogen atom with solid N-chlorosuccinimide, and then treating with potassium tert-butoxide at 90°C. Also it can be formed directly by thermal decomposition.
