(3.08 g, 20.0 mmol) was treated with triphenylphosphine
(4.72 g, 60 mmol) and stirred at room temperature for
12 h. Brine (20 mL) was then added to reaction mixture.
The organic layer was separated, dried over sodium sulfate
and evaporated under reduced pressure. The dark red res-
idue contained crude hydrazonoyl chlorides 4 whose IR
spectra exhibited the typical N–H stretch band at 3230–
3250 cmꢀ1. A solution of crude hydrazonoyl chloride 4
(4.0 mmol) in dry toluene (200 mL) was treated with trieth-
ylamine (2.02 g, 20.0 mmol) and refluxed for the time indi-
cated in Table 1. The crude was evaporated under reduced
pressure, and then the residue was chromatographed on a
silica gel column with ethyl acetate–hexane 2:1. The first
fractions contained major cycloadduct 6, further elution
gave minor cycloadduct 7.
