Hydrazones are a class of organic compounds that contain a carbon-nitrogen double bond and a nitrogen-nitrogen single bond. They are typically formed by the reaction of a ketone or aldehyde with a hydrazine. Hydrazones are often used as intermediates in the synthesis of other compounds, such as heterocyclic compounds and pharmaceuticals. They can also be used as reducing agents and as ligands in coordination chemistry.
