Sodium methanethiolate → 4,5-Dimethyl-6-(methylthio)pyridazin-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Chloro-4,5-dimethylpyridazin-3-amine (CAS-Nr. 76593-36-7, 400 mg, 2.54 mmol, 1.0 eq) and sodium methanethiolate (196 mg, 2.79 mmol, 1.1 eq) in 10.4 mL ethanol were heated for 1 h to 130° C. in a single mode microwave oven. The reaction mixture was partitioned between DCM and water. The organic phase was washed with brine and dried with sodium sulfate. The resulting mixture was filtered through a Whatman filter and the volatile components were removed in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified via MPLC (Biotage Isolera; 50 g SNAP cartridge: DCM/ethanol 95/5→DCM/ethanol 4/1) to give 182 mg (21% yield) of the title compound in 50% purity (UPLC, area-%).
