Reaction of 2-acetylbenzofuranhydrazone with aromatic aldehydes: Formation of aldzaines and regeneration of 2-acetylbenzofuran

摘要

Hydrolytic cleavage of 2-acetylbenzofuraiihydrazone under acidic condition with aromatic aldehyde is described. This method of cleavage of C=N bond is shown to serve as a convenient method for the regeneration of ketone from ketohydrazone besides synthesis of aldazines.
