Acetone azine, Me2C=N–N=CMe2, is the condensation product of two equivalents of acetone with one equivalent of hydrazine. It is an intermediate in the industrial production of hydrazine by the Atofina–PCUK cycle.[1]

On a laboratory scale, acetone azine is prepared by the direct reaction of acetone with hydrazine hydrate, with water being removed from the product by stirring with solid potassium hydroxide.[2][3] It is a useful precursor to acetone hydrazone[3] and hence to 2-diazopropane,[4] both of which must be prepared immediately before use and cannot be stored.[3][4]
