The reactions of the enolates of tert-butyl alkanoates 2 and N,N-dialkylalkanamides 3 with tert-butyl p-tolylazo sulfide 1 in THF furnish good yields of the corresponding α-p-tolylhydrazonylated esters 4 and amides 5. Results are reported showing the possible transformation of 4 and 5 into the N-methylated derivatives 8 and 9 and the subsequent deblocking of the protected carbonyl function to the corresponding 2-oxoalkanoates 10 and 2-oxoalkanamides 11.
