The meta substitution grants an increase of the yield for the Me group (1h, 72%) and a decrease of the yield for the Cl group (1i, 42%). For a complete replacement of the phenyl ring, the 1-naphthyl ring (1j, 62%) slightly diminishes the reactivity; the 2furanyl ring (1k, 67%) imparts an approximately identical reactivity; the 2-thienyl ring (1l, 71%) brings a marginally higher reactivity; the multi-substituted 5-thiazolyl moiety (1m) drastically slashes the yield down to 29%. The reaction is notably permissive of the switch to an alkenyl group (1n, 40%), although the reactivity is impaired.
