✦ Synopsis

THE fact that hydraaine can serve as a reagent for the hydrogenation of carbon-carbon unsaturation appears to have been realized first by Hanus and Vorisekl over thirty years ago after a reinvestigation of still earlier observations on the formation of stearyl hydrazide from the of glyceryl oleate with hydrazine.L Their work established acid could be hydrogenated to stearic acid by (1) treatment and (2) reaction with hydrazine novel discovery produced hardly events of the subsequent period and sulfur. 3 This accidental but truly a stir in the rapid stream of chemical and apparently chance alone determined the interaction that oleic with hydrasine' encounter of related reductive processes in other laboratories. In 1941 Fischer reported that vinyl groups in chlorlns and porphyrins are selectively reduced to ethyl groups by hydrazine under mild conditions, 4 a finding confirmed more recently by Woodward and co-workers at Harvard. 5 Lately, '
