Arylhydrazones Derivatives Containing a Benzothiazole Moiety, Efficient Ligands in the Palladium‐Catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐coupling Reactions under IR Irradiation

A simple arylhydrazone containing the benzothiazole moiety which may be used as an efficient ligand in the palladium‐catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions, under infrared irradiation as an alternative source of energy, is presented. The reactions proceeded with extremely high efficiency under mild conditions and produced very good yields. Simple arylhydrazones 1 and 2 containing a benzothiazole moiety are used as efficient ligands in the palladium‐catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reactions under infrared irradiation as an alternative source of energy.
