Abstract

This chapter discusses the synthesis and properties of compounds with N-N bonds. It looks into the synthesis and reaction of hydrazines, hydrazides, hydrazones, diazo compounds, and azides. The N-N-containing functional groups undergo vital interconversions which have great synthetic value. Additionally, the chapter explains how alkyl hydrazines are usually made from suitable alkyl halide and hydrazine. Also, hydrazones are prepared from the reaction of aldehydes and ketones with hydrazines, while oxidation of some hydrazines will result in the formation of diazo compounds. Alkyl azides are prepared via the nucleophilic attack of sodium azide on a suitable alkyl compound such as halide or sulphonate.
