The products of interaction of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine with nitrogen dioxide in aqueous solution were characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. It was found that more than 200 compounds of CHO, CHN and CHNO classes are formed as a result of the reaction; the main component being extremely dangerous N-nitrosodimethylamine. Among the products of the transformation of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine, N-nitrosodibutylamine was identified for the first time. The obtained results are of importance for understanding the processes of transformation of rocket fuel in surface and ground waters in the places of falling spent rocket stages containing both propellant and oxidizer.
