Experimental
General
All melting points were measured on a Gallenkamp Electrothermal melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. The IR absorption spectra (KBr disks) were measured on a Nicolet Magna 520FT IR Spectrophotometer. 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were recorded in deuterated dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO-d6) or deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) at 200 MHz on a Varian Gemini NMR spectrometer or a Bruker DPX 400 MHz spectrometer using tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal reference and results are expressed as δ values (ppm). Mass spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu GCMS-QP 1000 Ex mass spectrometer at 70 eV. Microwave irradiation was carried out using a commercial microwave oven (SGO 390W). Elemental analyses were carried out at the Microanalytical Center of Cairo University, Egypt.
General Procedure for the preparation of enaminones 2a-g
Method I (Δ): Dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMFDMA) (0.1 mol) was added to solution of methyl ketone (0.1 mol) in dry xylene (30 mL) or dry toluene (30 mL), and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 8 hours. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure yielded the crude product, which was recrystallized from xylene.
Method II (Δ without solvent): A mixture of dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMFDMA, 0.1 mol) and the corresponding methyl ketone (0.1 mol) was refluxed for 9 hours and was allowed to cool. The solid product formed was collected and recrystallized from xylene.
Method III (μω): Dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMFDMA, 0.1 mol) and methyl ketone (0.1 mol) were placed in the microwave oven and irradiated at full power for 1-5 min., left to cool to room temperature and the solid formed was collected and recrystallized from xylene.

Preparation of 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxo-3-substituted-propanals 6a-h [15]
