Abstract

Abstract: Carbonyl compounds 1 are converted to hydrazones 3 and then to hydrocarbons 4 by Wolff-Kishner reductions under microwave irradiations within 25-30 mins in excellent yields. Key words: Wolff-Kishner reductions, carbonyl compounds, microwave irradiation, hydrazones and solid state reactions
