Formylhydrazine is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CH₄N₂O and it has a mass of 60 g/mol. It is also known as formic acid hydrazide, hydrazinecarboxaldehyde, formohydrazide, or formic hydrazide. It is the simplest to call it hydrazide. Formylhydrazine can act as a bidentate ligand with cobalt, zinc,^[1] or cadmium.^[2]

Formation

Formylhydrazine can be produced by the acid hydrolysis of diazomethane. H₂CN₂ + H₂O → HC(O)NHNH₂.^[3]

Properties

Formylhydrazine causes lung cancer in mice.^[4]
