Aldehydes, Ketones And Carboxylic Acids

Question
CBSEENCH12008753

Explain the following:

Hydrazones of aldehydes and ketones are not prepared in highly acidic medium.

Solution
In highly acidic medium the protonation of hydrazine (H2N = NH2) decreases its nucleophilic character. Thus, hydrozones of aldehyde and ketones are not prepared in highly acidic medium.
