Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-5-methoxypyridazin-4-ol (10.0 g) was dissolved in DMF (300 mL), sodium hydride (3.26 g, 55 wt %) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (4.60 g) were added thereto at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 10 min. To the reaction mixture was added benzyl bromide (12.3 g) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water, and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane to give the title compound (19.8 g).
