Synthesis of diacetyl ferrocene dihydrazone from diacetyl ferrocene.
I do not quite get your question. Once again, what is your ground work here?
Diacetyl ferrocene is typically generated from ferrocene. Once you have diacetyl ferrocene, the subsequent reaction should be straight forward (i.e., a typical condensation reaction with hydrazine hydrochloride, and workup)

Dear Sudarsan VenkatRamani,
The procedure prescribed for the condensation reaction is tending to give the polymerized product. How to prevent the polymerization?
Hi Sai Siva Kumar P.
To prevent polymerization when using hydrazine during the reaction course, you should add the slight excess of hydrazine.HCl or hydrazine dissolved in suitable solvent (like dioxane) to the solution of diacetyl ferrocene dissolved in the same solvent gradully with constant stirring at RT and not the reverse (i,e dont add the diacetyl ferrocene to the hydrazine) and keep it at RT for few hours, then filter your product, and crystallize it.
