(4-Tolylsulfonyl)hydrazones and aldehyde tosylhydrazones are versatile synthetic intermediates. They are used to make stereospecific alkenes, undergo synthetically useful fragmentations, and are used in C-C σ-bond formation. Furthermore, aldehyde tosylhydrazones are more stable than their parent aldehydes, because they do not undergo autoxidation, self-condensation, and hydration.
