S 3 General Experimental Methods Melting points are uncorrected. 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded at 25 C in CDCl 3 solutions at 3 or 5 MHz and 75 or 126 MHz, respectively, with Me 4 Si as internal standard. Chemical shifts () and coupling constants (J) are given in ppm and in Hz, respectively. IR spectra were taken with an FT-IR spectrometer. Mass spectra were obtained using a GC-MS apparatus at 7 ev ionization voltage. Microanalyses were carried out at our analytical laboratory. All reactions were analyzed by TLC on silica gel F 254 and by GLC using a gas chromatograph and capillary columns with polymethylsilicone + 5% phenylsilicone as the stationary phase. Column chromatography was performed on silica gel (7-23 mesh).

The aqueous phase was extracted with Et 2 O (2 15 ml) and the collected organic layers were dried over Na 2 SO 4.

Preparation and Characterization of 2-Amino-5-chloroacetophenone (1d) Nitration of 3-chloroacetophenone to give 5-chloro-2-nitroacetophenone. The method of Robbins was employed. 3 To concd. HNO 3 (8 ml) maintained at C was added in portions with stirring concd. H 2 SO 4 (8 1.25 ml). After additional stirring at C for 45 min., 3- chloroacetophenone (8. g, 52. mmol) was added very slowly at C with vigorous stirring. After additional stirring for 2 h at C, ice was added followed by AcOEt (15 ml). Phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt (2 15 ml). The collected organic layers were evaporated and Et 2 O (15 ml) was added to the residue. The orange precipitate was recovered by decantation and then crystallized 2 times from MeOH at ca. 18 C. The crude 5- chloro-2-nitroacetophenone (3.1 g) thus obtained was then used as such for the next step. Reduction of 5-chloro-2-nitroacetophenone to give 2-amino-5-chloroacetophenone 1d. The method of Robbins was employed. 3 A mixture of the 5-chloro-2-nitroacetophenone obtained above, Sn powder (5.36 g, 45.2 mmol), concd. HCl (12.5 ml) was allowed to reflux for 4 h with stirring.

S 5 After cooling to C, NaOH (pellets) was added to basic ph. Et 2 O ( ml) was added and phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with Et 2 O (2 ml) and the collected organic layers were dried over Na 2 SO 4. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated to give a brown-yellow solid, which was purified by column chromatography (SiO 2, 8:2 hexane-acoet) to give a pale yellow solid, mp 63-64 C (lit. 6 65-66 C) (3.97 g, 45% based on 5-chloro-2-nitroacetophenone). IR (KBr): = 3457 (s), 3324 (s), 1654 (s), 1617 (s), 1577 (m), 1544 (m), 1474 (m), 1362 (w), 1231 (m), 11 (w), 958 (w), 824 (w), 628 (w) cm -1 ; 1 H NMR (5 MHz): = 7.62 (d, J = 2.7, 1 H), 7.16 (dd, J = 8.8, 2.7, 1 H), 6.57 (d, J = 8.8, 1 H), 6.3 (s, br, 2 H), 2.53 (s, 3 H); GC-MS: m/z = 171 (29) [M + + 2], 169 (84) [M + ], 156 (33), 154 (), 128 (11), 126 (38), 99 (), 9 (18), 65 (13). Preparation and Characterization of 2-(2-Aminophenyl)oct-3-yn-2-ol (2aa) To a suspension of Mg turnings (7 mg, 28.8 mmol) in anhydrous THF (2. ml), maintained under nitrogen and under reflux, was added pure EtBr (.5 ml) to start the formation of the Grignard reagent. The remaining bromide was added dropwise (ca. min) in THF solution (1.5 ml of EtBr in 15. ml of THF; total amount of EtBr added: 2.92 g, 26.8 mmol). The mixture was then allowed to reflux for additional min. After cooling, the solution of EtMgBr thus obtained was transferred under nitrogen to a dropping funnel and was added dropwise to a solution of the 1- hexyne (2. g, 26.8 mmol) in anhydrous THF (7. ml) at C with stirring. After additional stirring at C for 15 min, the mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature, maintained at 5 C for 2 h, and then used as such for the next step. 2-Aminoacetophenone 1a (1. g, 8.9 mmol) was dissolved under nitrogen in anhydrous THF (7. ml) and then added dropwise to the solution of the 1-hexynylmagnesium bromide in THF (prepared as described above) at 5 C under nitrogen. After stirring at 5 C for 1 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. Saturated NH 4 Cl was added with stirring to achieve weakly acidic ph. After additional stirring at room temperature for 15 min., AcOEt (ca. ml) was added and phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt (3 3 ml), and the collected organic layers were washed with brine to neutral ph and eventually dried over Na 2 SO 4. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated and the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (9:1 hexane-acoet) to give pure 2aa as a yellow oil (1.16 g, % based on 1a). Partial decomposition of 2aa usually occurred during the purification procedure, which somewhat affected the final yield obtained.

S11 References and Footnotes (1) The only mononitrated product obtained by nitration of 3-methoxyacetophenone was 3- methoxy-2-nitroacetophenone, as confirmed by 1 H NMR. This product was obtained either by using the nitration procedure reported by Alford et. al., 2 or by using the procedure recently reported by Robbins et. al. 3 It is worth noting that in this latter case the Authors have indicated the structure of the mononitrated product as 5-methoxy-2-nitroacetophenone rather than 3-methoxy-2- nitroacetophenone.
