Hydrazone
Hydrazones are a class of organic compounds with the structure R1R2C=N−NH2.[1] They are related to ketones and aldehydes by the replacement of the oxygen =O with the =N−NH2 functional group. They are formed usually by the action of hydrazine on ketones or aldehydes.[2][3]
Synthesis
Hydrazine, organohydrazines, and 1,1-diorganohydrazines react with aldehydes and ketones to give hydrazones.
Phenylhydrazine reacts with reducing sugars to form hydrazones known as osazones, which was developed by German chemist Emil Fischer as a test to differentiate monosaccharides.[4][5]
Uses
Hydrazones are the basis for various analyses of ketones and aldehydes. For example,
The compound
.Hydrazones are the basis of
Reactions
Hydrazones are susceptible to hydrolysis:
- R2C=N−NR'2 + H2O → R2C=O + H2N−NR'2
When derived from hydrazine itself, hydrazones condense with a second
- R2C=N−NH2 + R2C=O → R2C=N−N=CR2 + H2O
Hydrazones are intermediates in the Wolff–Kishner reduction.
Hydrazones are reactants in
N,N-dialkylhydrazones
In N,N-dialkylhydrazones[15] the C=N bond can be hydrolysed, oxidised and reduced, the N–N bond can be reduced to the free amine. The carbon atom of the C=N bond can react with organometallic nucleophiles. The alpha-hydrogen atom is more acidic by 10 orders of magnitude compared to the ketone and therefore more nucleophilic. Deprotonation with for instance lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) gives an azaenolate which can be alkylated by alkyl halides.[16] The hydrazines SAMP and RAMP function as chiral auxiliary.[17][18]
Recovery of carbonyl compounds from N,N-dialkylhydrazones
Several methods are known to recover carbonyl compounds from N,N-dialkylhydrazones.[19] Procedures include oxidative, hydrolytic or reductive cleavage conditions and can be compatible with a wide range of functional groups.
