Dimethylformamide → 6-chloro-N-(3-methylbutyl)pyridazine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The mixture of 6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid monohydrate (3.16 g, 20.0 mmol), dimethylformamide (0.5 mL) and thionyl chloride (5-7 mL) in chloroform (70 mL) was kept at 50-60° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo to dryness. The solid residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (70 mL) and added dropwise to the mixture of 3-methylbutylamine (30 mmol, 2.7 mL) and triethylamine (5 mL) in dichloromethane (150 mL) at ambient temperature. The mixture was stirred for 30 min, washed sequentially with 10% HCl solution, saturated NaHCO3 and water, and then dried over MgSO4. The final compound was isolated by recrystallization from ether:hexanes (5:1) (19.76 mmol). Yield: 4.5 g (19.76 mmol), 98%.
