My orginial attempt was not as successful as I had hoped.

Any method is welcome.

Thanks

Why are you trying to make methylamine?

If it's not for what many people think at, then maybe as a propellant for a rocket engine:

but since methylamine is a mass-produced commodity, I'd expect rocket builders to buy it.

What reagents you have at your disposal? Hoffman Bromamide degradation comes to mind. You could also use a methyl halide and ammonia. With ammonia in excess, major product would be the 1 degree. I haven't carried out that myself though.
