Chloramine, produced by interaction of equimolar quantities of hypochlorite and ammonia in alkaline solution, will react with various primary amines to form the corresponding N- substituted hydrazines. As in the Raschig synthesis the yield of alkyl hydrazine depends upon the following factors:(a) presence of gelatin as an inhibitor,(b) ratio of amine to chloramine,(c) presence of a permanent base. The amine-chloramine reaction differs from ...
