Abstract

Simple X-unsubstituted hydrazones of most aldehydes or ketones, usually difficult to obtain in good yields and high purity, may be so prepared from the corresponding N, N- dimethylhydrazones by exchange with anhydrous hydrazine. Since azine formation is nil under these conditions, the reaction can be followed by observing loss of color. The
