(9) AHs 1a−g were synthesized via condensation reaction from
aldehydes and hydrazines (see the Supporting Information).
(10) DDs 2a−f were synthesized from the corresponding
halohydrazones by treatment with base (see the Supporting
Information).
Notes
The authors declare no competing financial interest.
(11) Compounds 3a−k exhibit a pronounced tendency to undergo
isomerization and/or partial decomposition when exposed to DMSO-
d6 solution; for these reasons, all attempts to obtain their fully
characterization were unsuccessful.
(12) An alternative pathway in which CH/NH tautomerization may
precede the cyclization step should be excluded according to our
previous findings. See: Attanasi, O. A.; Filippone, P.; Fiorucci, C.;
Mantellini, F. Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 3891.
