and the elimination of trace metals. However, it is import-
ant to note that hydrazides, hydrazones, 1,2,3-triazoles, and
DMSO are known to have either low decomposition onsets,
high decomposition energies, or both. The safety of reac-
tions involving low-onset or high-energy compounds needs
to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

TsNHNH2 (308 mg, 1.65 mmol) was added to a solution of 1,1-
dimethoxypropan-2-one (195 mg, 1.65 mmol) in DMSO (2 mL),
and the mixture was stirred for 1 h at r.t. Methyl 4-aminobenzo-
ate (262 mg, 1.74 mmol) was then added and the mixture was
heated at 80 °C for 4 h, then cooled. The solution was filtered
and purified by supercritical fluid chromatography (Princeton
HA-Morpholine column) to give a white solid; yield: 198 mg
(55%).

To a solution of TsNHNH2 (98 mg, 0.53 mmol) were added ester
5 (100 mg, 0.55 mmol), prepared according to ref. 24, and
diamine 6 (100 mg, 0.53 mmol) in DMSO (1 mL), and the
mixture was heated at 80 °C for 6 h, then cooled. The resulting
solution was purified by reverse-phase chromatography [Tele-
dyne Isco ACCQPrep; Luna Omega 5m Polar C18 column (250 ×
30 mm), gradient elution: H2O–HOAc/MeCN]. The pure frac-
tions were combined, and MeCN was removed by evaporation
under reduced pressure. The resulting aqueous mixture was
frozen and lyophilized to give a white solid; yield: 91 mg (55%).
