All the reagents were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany) or Alfa Aesar (Tewksbury, MA, USA) and were used as received. Melting points were obtained using a Gallenkamp (G) (Fiorano Modenese, Italy) melting point apparatus. The structures of final compounds were unambiguously assessed by
1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) and
13C NMR. Spectra were recorded in the indicated solvent (Chloroform- CDCl
3, Dimethyl Sulphoxide-DMSO-
d6) at 25 °C on a Bruker
300 MHz spectrometer (Bruker, Milano, Italy) or a Bruker
Advance DPX400 employing TMS (tetramethyl silane)as internal standard. Chemical shifts are expressed in δ values (ppm) and coupling constants (
J) in hertz (Hz). IR spectra were recorded on a PerkinElmer machine 10.4.00 (PerkinElmer, Milan, Italy). Reactions were monitored by TLC (thin layer chromatography) on silica gel plates
Merck 60 F254 (Merck, Burlington, MA, USA). Final products were purified by a flash chromatography system with column chromatography, using Merck 60 silica gel, 230–400 mesh. Elemental analyses were performed on Leco Trunspec CHNS Micro elemental system (St. Joseph, MI, USA). The purity of final compounds was evaluated by C, H, N analysis, and it was confirmed to be ≥95%.
