Compound 50‚ like its known analogue 3‚ involves an α‚β-unsaturated ketone‚ an acid-sensitive reactant‚ which prevents its direct synthesis in presence of protic solvents by refluxing. Despite of this characteristic‚ 50 was formed smoothly in 5 minutes by grinding chemistry‚ solely as E-isomer‚ without any evidence of decomposition after 1H and 13C MNR analysis. This synthetic approach provides easy access to such α‚β-unsaturated N-acylhydrazones‚ which are building blocks in the synthesis of nitrogen-containing
