o·sa·zone

(ō'să-zōn),

The compound formed by certain sugars (for example, glucose, galactose, fructose) with excess hydrazines, possessing two hydrazones on carbons 1 and 2 instead of only one at C-1, as in the ordinary hydrazone, thus, RNH-N=CR'-CR"=N-NHR"'; osazones formed with phenylhydrazine (phenylosazones) are used to characterize and identify certain sugars.

Synonym(s): dihydrazone

The aim of this work is to prepare and spectral study a ferrocenyl ligand derived from condensation of 1,1`-diacetylferrocene dihydrazone with salicylaldehyde.

Synthesis and Characterization of Ligand 1,1`-Diacetylferrocene dihydrazone was prepared by reacting 1,1`-diacetyl-ferrocene, dissolved in a small amount of dry ethanol, with an excess of hydrazine hydrate while stirring under nitrogen.

1) was prepared by addition of salicylaldehyde to 1,1`-diacetylferrocene dihydrazone in ethanol under reflux for 8 h.
