Catalyst-free reactions under solvent-free conditions: microwave-assisted synthesis of heterocyclic hydrazones below the melting points of neat reactants
M. Jeselnik et al., Catalyst-free reactions under solvent-free conditions: microwave-assisted synthesis of heterocyclic hydrazones below the melting points of neat reactants, CHEM COMMUN, (18), 2001, pp. 1716-1717
The reaction of neat 5- or 8-oxobenzopyran-2(1H)-ones, 1-3, with a variety
of aromatic and heteroaromatic hydrazines, 4, is remarkably accelerated upo
n irradiation in a household microwave oven in the absence of any catalyst,
solid support or solvent thus providing an environmentally friendly route
to several heterocyclic hydrazones.
