Efficient classical synthesis of aminoazines under microwave irradiation

In the present study, Aminoazines were prepared from the reaction of amidrazone hydroiodide with various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of a solid base under microwave irradiation with power level of 850 W for 2-7 min in high yields. The amidrazone hydroiodide can also be prepared by the reaction of S-methyl isothiobenzamide hydroiodide and hydrazine in methanol under nitrogen gas. All synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of IR and 1H NMR spectral data. The significant features of this method are short reaction times, high yields of the products, solvent free reaction, easy work-up procedure, directly production of aminoazines.
