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.[2]
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:[3][4] it is also commercially available. It is a useful precursor to acetone hydrazone[4][5] and hence to 2-diazopropane,[5][6][7] both of which must be prepared immediately before use and cannot be stored.[4][7]
