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] A similar method is to form the N,N-dimethylhydrazone, and then to react it with hydrazine to form the unsubstituted hydrazone.[6]

Reactions and uses

Hydrazones can be hydrolysed to the corresponding carbonyl compounds: the reaction is usually endothermic and is acid-catalyzed. An excess of acid is often used to remove the hydrazine as a hydrazonium salt.

The α-hydrogen of hydrazones is ten orders of magnitude more acidic than that of the corresponding ketone, and can easily be removed with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to form an azaenolate.[7][8]

The 1-aminopyrrolidine derivatives RAMP and SAMP[9] are chiral auxiliaries that function by forming hydrazones with carbonyl groups in the compound to be derivatized.[10][11]
