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.
