Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-[(6-chloropyridazin-3-yl)methyl]-4-methoxybenzoate (10.03 g, 34.2 mmol) in THF (400 mL) was added LHMDS (100 mL, 1M solution in THF) and ethyl 3-(trimethylsilyl)propynoate (6.66 mL, 35.5 mmol) at −78° C. The reaction was warmed to 0° C. and stirred for 0.5 hr until the reaction was complete by LCMS analysis. The reaction was quenched with aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with 0.5 N HCl, brine, dried over MgSO4, and condensed in vacuo to yield an oil. The crude material was purified via silica gel chromatography (CH2Cl2) to yield the title compound.
