Treatment of a series of substituted acetophenone 4-nitrophenylhydrazones with mercury(II) acetate in acetic acid gave the corresponding substituted phenylglyoxal bis-(4-nitrophenylhydrazones) in varying yields.Similar reactions involving hydrazino-transfers to methyl groups were observed with the 4-nitrophenylhydrazones of acetone, propiophenone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl benzyl ketone, and also with the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones of acetone and acetophenone.Substituent influences on product distribution and a possible mechanism are discussed.
