Abstract

1-Acetyl-1-methylhydrazine was converted to acetylmethylhydrazones by reaction with the aldehydes and ketones: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isobutyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetone, and 2-butanone. By reduction with sodium borohydride in ethanol, followed by hydrolysis with dilute hydrochloric acid, each hydrazone, except benzaldehyde acetylmethylhydrazone, was converted to the corresponding 1-alkyl ...
