The propanone azine is an intermediate in the Atofina-PCUK synthesis. Direct ] of hydrazines with ] in the presence of base affords alkyl-substituted hydrazines, but the reaction is typically inefficient due to poor control on level of substitution (same as in ordinary ]s).

For aerospace personnel, the ] uses an emergency exposure guideline, developed by the ] Committee on Toxicology, which is utilized for non-routine exposures of the general public and is called the Short-Term Public Emergency Exposure Guideline (SPEGL). The SPEGL, which does not apply to occupational exposures, is defined as the acceptable peak concentration for unpredicted, single, short-term emergency exposures of the general public and represents rare exposures in a worker's lifetime. For hydrazine the 1-hour SPEGL is 2 ppm, with a 24-hour SPEGL of 0.08 ppm.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |url=https://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/virtual_disk_library/index.cgi/821003/FID177/pubs/af/48/afoshstd48-8/afoshstd48-8.pdf |title=Air Force Occupational Safety and Health (AFOSH) Standard 48-8 |date=1 Sep 1997 |website=] |access-date=23 Nov 2018}}</ref> |

Hydrazine can be synthesized from ammonia and hydrogen peroxide with a ketone catalyst, in a procedure called the ] (sometimes called Pechiney-Ugine-Kuhlmann process, the Atofina–PCUK cycle, or ketazine process).<ref name="Ullmann"/> The net reaction is:<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.elsevier.com/books/chemistry-of-petrochemical-processes/matar-ph-d/978-0-88415-315-3 |title=Chemistry of Petrochemical Processes |last1=Matar |first1=Sami |last2=Hatch |first2=Lewis F. |date=2001 |publisher=Gulf Professional Publishing |isbn=978-1-4933-0346-5 |edition=2nd |location=Burlington |page=148 |oclc=990470096 |via=Elsevier}}</ref> |

These reactions are extremely ] (the catalyst chamber can reach 800 °C in a matter of milliseconds,<ref name="Vieira" />) and they produce large volumes of hot gas from a small volume of liquid hydrazine,<ref name="Chen" /> making it a fairly efficient thruster propellant with a vacuum ] of about 220 seconds.<ref></ref> |

In this route, the ketone and ammonia first condense to give the ], which is oxidised by hydrogen peroxide to the ], a three-membered ring containing carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Next, the oxaziridine gives the ] by ], which process creates the nitrogen-nitrogen single bond. This hydrazone condenses with one more equivalent of ketone. |

The ], first announced in 1907, produces hydrazine from ] (the active ingredient in many ]es) and ammonia without the use of a ketone catalyst.

The Italian catalyst manufacturer ] has proposed using hydrazine as an alternative to ] in ]s. The chief benefit of using hydrazine is that it can produce over 200 m]/cm<sup>2</sup> more than a similar hydrogen cell without the need to use expensive ] catalysts. As the fuel is liquid at room temperature, it can be handled and stored more easily than hydrogen. By storing the hydrazine in a tank full of a double-bonded ]-] ], the fuel reacts and forms a safe solid called ]. By then flushing the tank with warm water, the liquid hydrazine hydrate is released. Hydrazine has a higher ] of 1.56 ] compared to 1.23 V for hydrogen. Hydrazine breaks down in the cell to form ] and ] which bonds with oxygen, releasing water.<ref name="The Engineer"></ref> |

A mixture of 63% Hydrazine, 32% Hydrazine Nitrate and 5% water is a standard propellant for experimental bulk-loaded liquid propellant artillery. The propellant mixture above is notable for being one of the most predictable and stable, with a remarkably flat pressure profile during firing. Misfires are usually caused by inadequate ignition. The movement of the shell after a misignition causes a large bubble with a larger ignition surface area, and the greater rate of gas production causes very high pressures, sometimes including catastrophic tube failures (explosions).<ref>Knapton, John, Stobie, Irvin, Elmore, Les; ARl-TR-81 A review of the Bulk-Loaded Liquid Propellant Gun Program for Possible Relevance to the Electrothermal Chemical Propulsion Program, Army Research Laboratory, March 1993 At 2011-7-23</ref> |
