The synthesis of phenylhydrazine involving the diazotization of aniline, the reduction of the resulting diazonium salt with an excess amount of sodium sulfite, and the hydrolysis of phenylhydrazine sulfonic acid salt with hydrochloric acid is known as Fischer phenylhydrazine synthesis.

Dissolve 15 g PMA in 500 mL distilled water, allow to stand one day, and filter before use through a fluted paper filter. 7. Phenylhydrazine hydrochloride stock solution. Weigh accurately 0.1 g phenylhydrazine hydrochloride into a 100-mL volumetric flask and fill to the mark with 0.1 M HCl.

Phenylhydrazine exists as yellow to pale brown crystals or as a yellowish oily liquid. It is sparingly soluble in water and is miscible with other organic solvents.

Osazone test is a chemical test used to detect reducing sugars. This test even allows the differentiation of different reducing sugars on the basis of the time of appearance of the complex. This test is also termed Phenyl hydrazine test based on the reagent used for this test.
