A catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of arylhydrazines and alcohols enables a direct synthesis of arylhydrazones with complete selectivity for arylhydrazones without N-alkylated byproducts. This process provides a new horizon for the development of catalytic acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling reactions.

N-tert-butyldimethylsilylhydrazone (TBSH) derivatives from carbonyl-containing compounds serve as superior alternatives to simple hydrazones in Wolff-Kishner-type reduction reactions, in the Barton vinyl iodide preparation, in the synthesis of vinyl bromides, and in the synthesis of gem-diiodides, gem-dibromides, and gem-dichlorides.

A variety of azides were treated with N,N-dimethylhydrazine in the presence of ferric chloride hexahydrate as catalyst in refluxing acetonitrile to provide pure hydrazones.

A Michael addition of amines and hydrazines to nitrostyrenes provides N-alkyl/aryl substituted benzyl imines and N-methyl/phenyl substituted benzyl hydrazones via a retro-aza-Henry-type process under mild, noncatalytic conditions. The method can be used for the synthesis of biologically important N-methyl pyrazoles in a one-pot manner, simple starting with the corresponding nitrostyrenes and the methylhydrazine.

A facile gold-catalyzed hydrohydrazidation of alkynes with various hydrazides provides a wide range of substituted keto-N-acylhydrazones in very good yields under mild conditions. The reaction exhibits high functional group tolerance, and is insensitive to electronic and steric effects.

A mild diazenylation of active methylene compounds and N-heterocyclic compounds with arylhydrazine hydrochlorides is mediated by iodine under basic aerobic conditions. The reaction could be executed either under heating or in the presence of blue LED light.
