School of Post-graduate Studies and Research in Chemistry, Jiwaji University, Gwalior (M. P.) Manuscript received 23 August 1976, revised 26 Apri/1977, accepted 12 July 1977 2-Methoxy-3-bromo-5-chorobenzobydrazide and 2-methoxy-3-nitro-5-chlorobenzobydrazlde form good crystalline bydrazones with three ketosteroids, namely estrone, dehydro-epiandrosterone and 5-\(\beta\)-androsterone1. Similarly 2-hydroxy-3-chloto-5-bromobenzohydrazlde and 2-metboxy-3- nitro-5-bromobenzohydrazlde have now been synthesised and their reactivity towards some ketosteroids bas been studied
