Abstract

A new and convenient method is described for the synthesis of hydrazonyl halides. Hydrazones on treatment with N-chlorosuccinimide-dimethyl sulfide complex result in the formation of the corresponding hydrazonyl chlorides in good yields. Similarly, treatment of hydrazones with N-bromosuccinimide-dimethyl sulfide complex gives the corresponding hydrazonyl bromide under extremely mild conditions.
