35. The scope and limitations of the direct thioketalation of hydrazones has been investigated: Díez, E.; López, A. M.; Pareja, C.; Martín-Zamora, E.; Fernández, R.; Lassaletta, J. M. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 7955.
36. It should be noted that the steric differences between the "small" (methyl) and "medium" (methylene in the ring) substituents in these cases are clearly less than for the tertiary compound.
37. Organocerium compounds are claimed to possess better nucleophilicity and less basic character than organolithium or Grignard reagents: Denmark, S. E.; Edwards, J. P.; Nicaise, O. J. Org. Chem. 1993, 58, 8, 569 and references therein.

39. It is important to wash the catalyst repeatedly with water to neutrality and then with methanol prior to use. Direct washing of the catalyst with methanol resulted in the unexpected N-methylation of the resulting amines. For instance, up to 39% of the N,N-dimethylamine derivative shown in Figure 1 was obtained from 5b under these conditions.

47. In full analogy with enamines, the nucleophilic character of the azomethine carbon of hydrazones demands an effective conjugation between the amino nitrogen and the CN double bond. Consequently, the electrophilic, imine-like reactivity of hydrazones requires the loss of conjugation and, hence, conformations clearly deviated from planarity. Pappalardo, R. R.; Muñoz, J.
