2.5 mol%), lithium tert-butoxide (96.0 mg, 2.4 equiv.), the
cyclic en-one 4 (0.55 mmol), p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide
(0.64 mmol) and dioxane (2 mL). After 1 min, the aryl
halide 2 (0.5 mmol) was added. The system was heated at
1108C with stirring and reflux. The reaction was monitored
by GC-MS. When the reaction was completed, the crude re-
action mixture was allowed to reach room temperature,
taken up in dry pentane, hexanes or dichloromethane
(15 mL), and filtered through celite. The solvents were
evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was pu-
rified by flash chromatography on silica gel or desactivated
silica gel.
