Azines are a functional class of organic compounds, formed from the condensation reaction of two equivalents of an aldehyde or ketone with one equivalent of hydrazine.[1][2] They may be further classified as aldazines or ketazines, depending on the nature of the carbonyl compound.[3][4]

Preparation

Azines may be prepared by the direct reaction of a carbonyl compound with hydrazine hydrate:[5] the reaction is exothermic.[6]

Reactions and uses

Azines have been used as precursors to hydrazones[5][7] and diazo compounds.[7][8][9]

Azines have been used as sources of hydrazine produced in situ, for example in the production of herbicide precursor 1,2,4-triazole.[10]

Nomenclature

Azines may be named by substitutive or functional class nomenclature.[11][12] 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.[13]

Unsymmetrical azines, that is compounds of the type X=N–N=Y with X ≠ Y, are not named as azines: in the absence of other functional groups having higher seniority, they can be named as substituted hydrazones.[14]
