title: N-(2-acetyl-1,3-indandione-1-hydrazone)trialkylammonium iodides as a new group of reagents for the carbonyl group.
abstract: Monohydrazones of N-(2-acetyl-1,3-indandione)trialkylammonium iodides have been synthesized and used as reagents for the carbonyl group. Aldehydes, ketones, keto-acids and cyclic ketones react with these compounds, producing a yellow colour. Carbonyl compounds can be identified by the absorption spectrum of their derivatives with these reagents.
