Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-cyano-5-methyl-3-pyridazinone (P. Schmidt and J. Druey, Helvetica Chemica Acta, 37, 1467 (1954)) (0.93 g, 6.9 mmol) and NaH (50% in oil, 0.344 g, 8.6 mmol) in DMF (15 ml,) was stirred at rt for 1 hour. 4-Methoxybenzyl chloride (1.34 g, 8.6 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The mixture was diluted with water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water, dried, filtered and evaporated. Trituration of the residue with ethyl acetate gave 4-cyano-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)-5-methyl-3-pyridazinone (0.83 g, 3.2 mmol, 46%).
