8. A typical experimental procedure of alkyl radical addition
to hydrazone 5: To a suspension of hydrazone 5 (0.11
mmol), RI (0.55 mmol), Zn (0.77 mmmol) and CH2Cl2
(0.1 mL) was added dropwise aqueous sat. NH4Cl (0.4
mL) at 20°C. After being vigorously stirred at the same
temperature for 22 h, the reaction mixture was neutralized
with sat. NaHCO3 and extracted with CH2Cl2. The
organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated
under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by
preparative TLC (hexane/AcOEt 3:1) afforded desired
product 6 in the yields shown in Table 2.
