acid hydrazides, semicarbazides and thiosemicarbazides

monochemist - 21-11-2008 at 19:10

Dear All,
Is there is any method for the preparation of acid hydrazides or semicarbazides and thiosemicarbazides from the acid chlorides directly without converting the acid to its ethyl or methyl ester??

Hope anyone can help,
Thanks

We're big on self-help here. I googled and found several references on point and a patent or two.

Hey Chemrox, ultimately we can find anything if we google long enough, spend enough time in the libraries and so on. The question in my view is not totally trivial bordering on the ridiculous, so it would have been nice to include a link or two, and THEN only conclude with a gentle reminder to search. Otherwise your comment is just destructive... thank you.
