Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloro-N-methoxy-N-methylpyridazine-3-carboxamide (13.5 g, 0.0659 mol) in THF (600 mL) was added CH3MgBr (43.2 ml, 0.13 mol) at −78° C. under N2. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h, quenched by addition of aq NH4Cl and filtered. The filtrate was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and filtered. The solvent was removed under vacuum, and the residue was purified by column chromatography to afford 1-(6-chloropyridazin-3-yl)ethanone. (9.3 g, 90% yield). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 8.03 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.60 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 2.81 (s, 3H).
