Abstract
The results of the interaction of microwave irradiation (multimode, 2.45 GHz, 100–600 W power) on tosylhydrazones, T.I., interesting intermediates in many organic reactions, were presented. T.I. were supported on silica, silica gel and alumina powders. Different inorganic salts (K2CO3 Fe(NO3)3 9H2O) were added to the reaction mixture. The results obtained, starting from a range of different T.I., were investigated by means of mass spectrometry and 1HNMR in order to understand the role of microwave irradiation and presence of inorganic additives on the reaction pathway and yields.
