Benzoyl Peroxide → 2-tert-butyl-4-bromomethyl-5-chloro 3(2H)-pyridazinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-tert-butyl-4-methyl-5-chloro 3(2H)-pyridazinone (3 g, 15 mmol) is dissolved in 25 ml of carbon tetrachloride and to it is added N-bromosuccinimide (2.6 g, 15 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (14 mg). The mixture is then refluxed for 6 hours after which it is cooled and filtered. The filtrate is washed with water and dried. After removing the organic solvent the crude residue obtained is purified by flash chromatography (silica gel; ethyl acetate/hexanes: 9:1) to obtain the product.
