The Japp–Klingemann reaction involves the coupling of an aryl diazonium salt with a _-keto acid or its ester to form a hydrazone. The general mechanism can be described in the following steps:

The Japp–Klingemann reaction involves the coupling of an aryl diazonium salt with a β-keto ester or β-keto acid to form a hydrazone intermediate. This intermediate can then undergo further transformations, such as cyclization, to yield various heterocyclic compounds.
# '''Coupling reaction''': The aryl diazonium salt reacts with a _-keto acid or its ester. This step involves the nucleophilic attack of the _-keto compound on the diazonium ion, leading to the formation of a hydrazone intermediate.
# '''Hydrazone formation''': The intermediate undergoes tautomerization to form the stable hydrazone product.

The Japp–Klingemann reaction is advantageous due to its simplicity and the availability of starting materials. However, it has some limitations, including:

Japp–Klingemann reaction[edit]

The Japp–Klingemann reaction is a chemical reaction used in organic chemistry to synthesize hydrazones from aryl diazonium salts and β-keto acids or their esters. This reaction is named after the chemists Francis Robert Japp and Felix Klingemann, who first reported it in 1887.
