Reactions with Hydrazine Hydrate: General
Procedure
A solution of the appropriate 2a,b, 8a, or 9a,b

Reaction of 1a,b with Methyliodide
A solution of the appropriate 1a,b (0.01 mol) in DMF
(20 mL) containing 0.01 mol of KOH was treated
with methyl iodide (0.01 mol). The reaction mixtures
were stirred at room temperature for 2 h, poured
onto ice-cold water, and neutralized with dilute HCl
(10%). The precipitates that formed were collected
by filtration and crystallized from ethanol to yield
8a,b, respectively.
Reaction of 10 with 11a,b
A solution of 10 (0.01 mol) in glacial acetic acid

then cooled. The solid products obtained were col-
lected by filtration and crystallized from the proper
solvent to yield 15 and 4, respectively.
