Azines are a functional class of organic compounds, formed from the reaction of two equivalents of an aldehyde or ketone with one equivalent of hydrazine. They may be further classified as aldazines or ketazines, depending on the nature of the carbonyl compound.

Nomenclature

Azines may be named by substitutive or functional class nomenclature.[1][2] In functional class nomenclature, the functional modifier "azine" is appended to the name of the carbonyl compound: hence, "acetone azine". In substitutive nomenclature, azines are named as derivatives of hydrazine: hence, "diisopropylidenehydrazine". In the presence of groups of higher seniority, the prefixes "hydrazinylidene" and "hydrazinediylidene" are used.[3]
