hydrazide
Sign in to saveAlso known as hydrazides
Hydrazides in organic chemistry are a class of organic compounds with the formula where R is acyl (), sulfonyl (), phosphoryl (), phosphonyl (), etc. and and R' are any groups (typically hydrogen or organyl). Unlike hydrazine and alkylhydrazines, hydrazides are nonbasic owing to the inductive influence of the acyl, sulfonyl, or phosphoryl substituent.

Hydrazides in organic chemistry are a class of organic compounds with the formula {{chem2|R\sNR^{1}\sNR^{2}R^{3}|}} where R is acyl (), sulfonyl (), phosphoryl (), phosphonyl (), etc. and {{chem2|R^{1}, R^{2}, R^{3}|}} and R' are any groups (typically hydrogen or organyl). Unlike hydrazine and alkylhydrazines, hydrazides are nonbasic owing to the inductive influence of the acyl, sulfonyl, or phosphoryl substituent.
==Sulfonyl hydrazides== A common sulfonyl hydrazide is p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide, a white air-stable solid. They are also widely used as organic reagents.
