The ethyl N¹-phenyl acethydrazonate reacts in pyridin with tosyl chloride to give after hydrolysis the N²-phenyl-N²-Tosyl-acethydrazide. The X-ray crystal structure of this compound has been determined and confirms the proposed structure. The C₁₅H₁₆N₂O₃S crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/c, the unit cell dimensions are: a .= 9.284(1), b = 18144(1), c = 17.893(1) Å, β = 91.822(2)° with z = 4 and p_x = 1.292 g.cm^-3. The average structure was refined at R = 0.0605 and Rw = 0.1822. Examination of the structure shows isolated dimers of C₃₀H₃₂N₄O₆S₂ parallel to the [100] direction : the molecules are connected through intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
