==Formation and reactions==
{{expand section|date=February 2022}}
DMAZ is an organic azide, which is prepared by reacting the chloride of the corresponding alkyl-amine (in this case ]) with ]:<ref name=":2" />
:{{chem2|NaN3 + N(CH3)2CH2CH2\sCl → NaCl + N(CH3)2CH2CH2\sN3}}
Ideally, the complete combustion of DMAZ produces carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen:
:{{chem2|2 (CH3)2NCH2CH2N3 + 13 O2 → 8 CO2 + 10 H2O + 4 N2}}

==Ignition delays==
During their inquiry into finding alternative hypergolic fuel, a joint effort by the ] (AMRDEC), the ] (ARL), and the ] (NASA) determined that DMAZ could perform competitively with ] and is less toxic than hydrazine-based fuels.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last=McQuaid|first=Michael|date=December 2003|title=Computationally Based Measures of Amine Azide Basicity and Their Correlation With Hypergolic Ignition Delays |website=Defense Technical Information Center |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA420016 |publisher=Army Research Laboratory }}</ref> However, DMAZ-] (IRFNA) systems have demonstrated longer ignition delays than ]-IRFNA systems. In an effort to address this issue, researchers synthesized the related compounds 2-azidoethanamines – 2-azido-''N''-methylethanamine (MMAZ) and 2-azido-''N''-cyclopropylethanamine (CPAZ) in hopes of enhancing the reactivity of DMAZ's amine nitrogen to reduce ignition delays. MMAZ is not hypergolic, while CPAZ is ].<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=McQuaid|first=Michael|date=September 2002|title=Computational Characterization of 2-Azidocycloalkanamines: Notional Variations on the Hypergol 2-Azido-N,N-Dimethylethanamine (DMAZ) |website=Defense Technical Information Center |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA405699 |publisher=Army Research Laboratory}}</ref>

According to research conducted by Army Research Laboratory, the ] in DMAZ's lowest energy structure will prevent the transfer of protons from nitric acid to the amine lone pair acid, a chemical reaction that may be associated with a ] in DMAZ-IRFNA ignition.<ref name=":1" />

However, according to a 2014 ARL report, a correlation between compound basicities and ignition delays was not observed, which indicates that the proton transfer from nitric acid to DMAZ's amine may not be a rate-controlling step in the ignition process of DMAZ-IRFNA systems.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Chen|first1=Chiung-Chu|last2=McQuaid|first2=Michael|date=January 2014|title=A Thermochemical Kinetic-Based Study of Ignition Delays for 2-Azidoethanamine-Red Fuming Nitric Acid Systems: 2 Azido-N-Methylethanamine (MMAZ) Vs. 2 Azido-N,N-Dimethylethanamine (DMAZ) |website=Defense Technical Information Center |url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA599206 |publisher=Army Research Laboratory}}</ref>
