Hydrazine Hydrate (NH2NH2·H2O)

All articles of this category Introduction The synthetic utilities of hydrazine hydrate have been extensively investigated in organic chemistry. Among reducing agents, hydrazine hydrate stands out for its application to a broad variety of reductive transformations. It is easy to use and reduces many functional groups, such as carbonyl compounds, alkenes, alkynes and nitro groups under mild reaction conditions. Hydrazine hydrate is commercially available. It is a liquid (mp -52 °C, bp 120-121 °C, d = 1.027 g/mL), and is ­soluble in water, ethanol, methanol, propanol and iso­butanol.
