Ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate → Ethyl 6-chloro-2-methylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

12.9 g of 3-amino-6-chloropyridazine was suspended in 250 ml of ethanol; 18.1 g of ethyl 2-chloro-3-oxobutanoate was added, followed by thermal refluxing for 6 hours. After cooling, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure; the residue was ajusted to pH 7 by the addition of aqueous sodium bicarbonate; ethyl ether was added; the precipitated was collected by filtration and extracted with ethyl ether; the extract was washed with saturated saline and dried with magnesium sulfate. The dry product was concentrated under reduced pressure; ethanol-1 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (1:1) was added; the crystal precipitated was collected by filtration; the filtrate was concentrated again. The residue was crystallized by the addition of ethyl acetate and collected by filtration to yield 3.09 g of the title compound.
