A kinetic study on the catalytic condensation reaction of acetylhydrazine with formaldehyde

Acetylhydrazone was prepared from the condensation reaction of acetylhydrazine with formaldehyde using acetic acid catalyst in methanolic medium. The reaction kinetic was studied in pH range of 4.2-7 and temperature range of 25-55 °C. The rate of the reaction was first order with respect to acetylhydrazine, formaldehyde and acetic acid. Moreover, a mechanism was proposed on the basis of experimental results and similar reactions.
