Abstract

Abstract: A variety of hydrazones and tosylhydrazones of carbonyl compounds have been investigated under the mild reaction conditions of potassium superoxide and tetraethylammonium bromide in dry dimethylformamide. As a result, hydrazones are generally transformed to their corresponding azines whereas tosylhydrazones undergo facile fragmentation to give the olefinic products in fairly good yields. The study highlights ...
