23. Compound 1 was synthesized as decribed: A. Unciti-Broceta, M. J. Pineda-de-las-Infantas, J. J. Díaz-Mochón, R. Romagnoli, P. G. Baraldi, M. A. Gallo; A. Espinosa, J. Org. Chem. 2005, 70, 2878-2880.
24. Reactions were monitored by TLC. All the reductions were achieved in less than 1 h.
25. The reduction was very quick in all the experiments at the corresponding reflux temperature of each alcohol. However, the bigger the substituent R, the longer the time and the higher the temperature needed to complete the reaction.

27. The reaction was monitored by HPLC.

36. The air present in the solvents was removed by bubbling a stream of nitrogen through the corresponding solvent for 30 min.
37. According to: D. L. Smith, P. J. Elving, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1961, 83, 1412-1420; it should be possible to isolate 1,6-dihydropurine before its oxidation into purine by avoiding the exposure to air and neutralizing the reaction mixture.

42. The heterocyclic systems of the compounds reduced in this article are much more electron-poor than the 2-pyridone ring.
43. [19] the aromatic heteroaryldiazene derivative would be the expected intermediate produced through a Shapiro-type reduction mechanism in this kind of compounds.
