Abstract

The Nenitzescu reaction, which is the basis for the synthesis of 5-hydroxyindole and 5-hydroxybenzofuran derivatives, allows the structures of starting compounds, ie., quinones and enamines, to be varied over a wide range.1–3 Nontraditional final products can often be obtained from nontrivial starting compounds.4,5 In this work, we synthesised 1-methyl-2-nitro- vinylhydrazine 1† by the transamination of 2-dimethylamino- 1-nitroprop-1-ene.6 To date, enehydrazines have not been used as ...
