Source of materialThe stock solutions was prepared by dissolving 0.5 mmol (Z)-1-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-2-(3-methylcyclohex-2-enylidene)-hydrazine in 100 ml dry CH 2 Cl 2 .NOwas produced by the reaction of 1mol H2SO4 solution with saturated NaNO2 aqueous solution. The former was added to the latter, which was stirred under argon atmosphere. NO was carried by argon and purified by passing it through aseries of scrubbing bottles containing 4MKOH, distilled water, and CaCl 2 in turn. The bottles were under an argon atmosphere. The purified NO was bubbled through ad egassed stirred stock solution at room temperature for an appropriate time. After completing of the reaction, as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was dried with unhydrous MgSO 4,c oncentrated in vacuum, then recrystallized from hexane/ethyl acetate.
Experimental detailsHydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically, with d(C-H) = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.96 Å (methyl), and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with U iso (H) = xU eq (C), where x =1.2 (aromatic) and x =1.5 (methyl), respectively.
