Just wondering what is the best way to purify methylamine created by reacting formaldehyde and ammonium chloride (which is at the end the only contaminate after dichloromethane and methanol wash).
What I found was that the solubility in ethanol(pure) for methylamine is 29.1g/100g(at 78*C) and for ammonium chloride it is 0.6g/100g(at 19*C). So at the end you yeild probably like 50-80%(just my amateur prediction).

So is there any solvent that can purify Methylamine HCl higher than 90%?
If so, can someone please explain the chemistry behind it.
I am just a new found hobbyist looking to learn some chemistry.
