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 Pechiney-Ugine-Kuhlmann process[2][3] and by the Bayer hydrazine process.[4][5]

Laboratory preparation and use

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:[6][7] it is also commercially available. It is a useful precursor to acetone hydrazone[7][8] and hence to 2-diazopropane,[8][9][10] both of which must be prepared immediately before use and cannot be stored.[7][10]

Acetone azine chem.png

As well as its use as an intermediate in organic synthesis, the coordination chemistry of acetone azine (as a ligand) has also been studied.[11][12][13] Acetone is also used to derivatize hydrazine, through formation of acetone azine, for analysis by gas chromatography: the method has been used to determine trace levels of hydrazine in drinking water[14] and pharmaceuticals.[15]

Production of hydrazine

Pechiney-Ugine-Kuhlmann process

The industrial preparation of acetone azine[2] might, at first sight, appear to be the reverse of the laboratory procedure: the azine is produced from acetone hydrazone, and then hydrolyzed to give hydrazine hydrate and acetone. The interest in preparing the azine is that it can be removed from the initial reaction mixture as an azeotrope with water:[3] in both laboratory practice and the Atofina–PCUK process, the aim is to avoid directly handling the unstable acetone hydrazone.

Bayer hydrazine process

The Bayer hydrazine process is a modification of the Raschig process, that is the oxidation of ammonia with sodium hypochlorite to produce hydrazine. The addition of acetone to the reaction mixture allows the separation and purification of acetone azine before its hydrolysis to hydrazine hydrate.[5]
