Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(2-bromoethoxy)benzaldehyde (4.97 g), 1(2H)-phthalazinone (3.27 g), potassium carbonate (6.20 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into water, which was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to obtain 4-[2-[1-oxo-2(1H)-phthalazinyl]ethoxy]benzaldehyde (5.36 g, yield 84%) as colorless crystals. This was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane. Melting point: 126–127° C.
