  1. † All reactions were carried out using 5 mol% of base under microwave dielectric heating at the given temperature in a sealed tube using a CEM Discover single-mode microwave synthesizer by moderation of the initial magnetron power (20–150 W). ‡ Isolated yield after recrystallization (ethanol). a Reaction was halted upon the rapid build-up of pressure.
