Infrared irradiation assisted both the synthesis of ( Z)-(aminomethyl)(aryl)phenylhydrazones via the Mannich coupling reaction and their application to the palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction

Abstract

The synthesis of arylhydrazones 1a–h assisted with infrared irradiation (IR) under solvent-free conditions is herein reported, and their catalytic action in the palladium-catalyzed and IR-assisted Heck coupling reaction are also evaluated.
