37. The coupling reaction with hydrazones derived from less substituted acyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones, such as benzylideneacetone, gives rise, under optimized reaction conditions, to a 57: 43 mixture of the expected diene and the pyrazole that is formed by decomposition of the tosylhydrazone followed by electrocyclic ring closure.
38. The Pd-catalyzed synthesis of tetrasubstituted olefins by the reaction of tosylhydrazones with aryl halides has been recently published under slightly different reaction conditions:, E. Brachet, A. Hamze, J.-F. Peyrat, J.-D. Brion, M. Alami, Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4042. Nevertheless, we have observed that our protocol can be also employed for the preparation of simple tetrasubstituted alkenes.
39. -1 (ΔG) more stable than the TS of the β-hydride elimination from IV, that leads to the cross-conjugated diene. A very large energy difference may justify the exclusive formation of the linear dienes (see Supporting Information for details).
