This article is about the hydrazine derivatives. For the use of "azine" in the names of heterocyclic compounds, see Azine (heterocycle).
Azines are a functional class of organic compounds with the connectivity RR'C=N-N=CRR'. These compounds are the product of the condensation of hydrazine with ketones and aldehydes, although in practice they are often made by alternative routes. Ketazines are azines derived from ketones.[1] For example, acetone azine is the simplest ketazine. Aldazines are azines derived from aldehydes.[2]
