The synthesis of formazans from ortho-substitued arylidene arylhydrazines
Abstract
Formazans, ortho-substituted in the C-aryl ring, have been prepared in two ways. These involve (a) coupling a highly electrophilic diazonium salt with an ortho-substituted benzylidene arylhydrazine and (b) replacement of bromine of a hydrazidic bromide by phenylhydrazine.
