I've heard of 'mustard oil' (allyl isothiocyanate), but not 'ethyl mustard oil'. I know of no way to produce methyamine from

ETHYL ISOTHIOCYANATE. I was just looking through the chemical abstracts and it said that when ethyl isothiocyanate reacts with H2so4 methylamine gas
was generated. I don't remember what the abstract was but ill get it at the library today.

The structure of ethyl isothiocyanate is
CH3CH2-N=C=S
I can see how you could produce ethylamine from this, but not methylamine.
