Hydrazones are a functional class of organic compounds formed by the condensation reaction of hydrazine (or, more usually, an N-substituted hydrazine) with an aldehyde or a ketone.[1][2]

Preparation

Substituted hydrazines will react directly with carbonyl compounds to form the corresponding hydrazone.[3] The reaction follows the normal addition–elimination mechanism for reactions at carbonyl carbon, and is acid-catalyzed.

The direct reaction cannot be used with hydrazine itself, as the hydrazone that is initially formed will react with a second equivalent of the carbonyl compound to form an azine. However the azine can be isolated, and then reacted with excess hydrazine to reform the hydrazone.[4][5]
