Synthesis of Hydrazones
Recent Literature

Tosyl- and Boc-hydrazones were found to be effective nucleophiles in the
Mitsunobu reaction. Tosyl hydrazones reacted cleanly with primary and
secondary alcohols when co-administered to a cooled DBAD/PPh3 or
DEAD/PPh3 complex.

Central to an alternative source of substrates for Fischer indolizations was a
palladium-catalyzed coupling to prepare N-aryl benzophenone hydrazones.
Hydrolysis of the hydrazones in the presence of ketones produced enolizable
hydrazones that underwent Fischer indolization.

A general two-step synthesis of substituted 3-aminoindazoles from
2-bromobenzonitriles involves a palladium-catalyzed arylation of benzophenone
hydrazone followed by an acidic deprotection/cyclization sequence. This
procedure offers a general and efficient alternative to the typical SNAr
reaction of hydrazine with o-fluorobenzonitriles.

A highly chemo- and regioselective allylic amination of various hydrazones and hydrazides with allylic
carbonates proceeds at ambient temperature in the presence of an [Ir(COD)Cl]2/pyridine
catalyst, ammonium iodide, and diethylzinc to afford the corresponding N-allylation products in high yields.
