Title: Reaction with hydrazine and KOH
Post by: JoseMourinho on October 14, 2010, 08:27:12 AM

hey,

i have to find out which compounds are formed during some mechanism...well, unfortunately the last step is the most terrible one for me, so i wanted to ask you whether somebody here has an idea of what will happen?

the compound, that i have attached, reacts with hydrazine and KOH is present too...but what will happen?

thanks for your help...

That's a named reaction.  Specifically, two names and the first name is an animal (spelled a bit differently though).
