N-acylhydrazines:: Future perspectives offered by new syntheses and chemistry

This is a review of the most recent and useful synthetic methodologies for providing access to di- and trisubstituted bydrazides. New chemistry and new organometallic derivatives of the title compounds offer a new arsenal for the production of new functionalised derivatives, which are also useful as new biologically relevant molecules.
