Hydrazides reaction with acyl halides

Hydrazine itself may be subjected to a variety of facile substitution reactions because of its great nucleophilic character. It may react with alkyl halides and activated aryl halides to yield substituted hydrazines. With acyl halides, esters, and amides it may form hydrazides. With carbonyl compounds, hydrazones form. Since hydrazine is bifunctional in nature, both amino groups may undergo reaction. In the case of the reaction of hydrazine with two moles of a carbonyl compound, the products are termed azines. ... 

Carboxylic acid hydiazides are prepared from aqueous hydrazine and tfie carboxylic acid, ester, amide, anhydride, or halide. The reaction usually goes poody with the free acid. Esters are generally satisfactory. Acyl halides are particularly reactive, even at room temperature, and form the diacyl derivatives (22), which easily undergo thermal dehydration to 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (23). Diesters give dihydtazides (24) and polyesters such as polyacrylates yield a polyhydrazide (25). The chemistry of carboxyhc hydrazides has been reviewed (83,84). 

The Cunius degradation of acyl azides prepared either by treatment of acyl halides with sodium azide or trimethylsilyl azide [47] or by treatment of acyl hydrazides with nitrous acid [f J yields pnmarily alkyl isocyanates, which can be isolated when the reaction is earned out in aptotic solvents If alcohols are used as solvents, urethanes are formed Hydrolysis of the isocyanates and the urethanes yields primary amines. 

Allylation of acyloyl-imidazoles and pyrazoles61 with allyl halide mediated by indium in aqueous media provides a facile regioselective synthesis of P, y-unsaturated ketones (Scheme 11.1), which has been applied to the synthesis of the monoterpene artemesia ketone. The same product can be obtained by indium-mediated allylation of acyl cyanide (Eq. 11.35).62 Samarium, gallium, and bismuth can be used as a mediator for the allylation of nitrones and hydrazones to give homoallylic hydroxylamine and hydrazides in aqueous media in the presence of Bu4NBr (Scheme 11.2).63 The reaction with gallium and bismuth can be increased dramatically under microwave activation. 

The products of the reaction between carboxylic acid hydrazides and carbon disulfide cyclize very readily to Zl4-l,3,4-oxadiazoline-2-thiones (LXXXIII) (see Section II.7). The intermediates, the acyl- or benzoyl-dithiocarbazic acids may, however, also be isolated and reacted with alkyl halides to give S-alkyl dithiocarbazates (LXXXVIIIa) which also cyclize easily either to thiadiazoline or oxadiazoline rings according to the reaction circumstances (see Section II.7). 

The best method of preparing hydrazides is by the reaction of hydrazines with esters. Acyl halides and amides may also be reacted with hydrazines. In the case of the Ing-Manske reaction, N-substituted phythalimides are reacted with hydrazine to generate a primary amine and the cyclic phthalhydrazide. 

In general, hydrazides may be prepared by many of the methods analogous to those used in the preparation of amides. For example, hydrazine salts of carboxylic acids and reactions of hydrazine with esters, acyl halides, acyl anhydrides, and amides may be used to produce hydrazides. A reaction analogous to the Hofmann degradation is the formation of hydrazides from ureides (acylureas) [54] (Eq. 4). 

Hydrazides. Acyl halides, esters, and amides react with hydrazine to form hydrazides which are themselves useful synthetic intermediates. Treatment of the hydrazide with nitrous acid yields the acyl azide which, upon heating, gives isocyanates (Curtius rearrangement). Di- or trichlorides are obtained upon reaction with Phosphorus(V) Chloride Crotonate and other esters have been cleaved with hydrazine to liberate the free alcohol (eq 10). ...
