1,2-Dibromoethane → 1-(6-Chloropyridazin-3-yl)cyclopropane-1-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Aqueous NaOH solution (50%, 5 mL) was added to a solution of (6-chloro-pyridazin-3-yl)-acetonitrile (0.21 g), 1,2-dibromoethane (0.14 mL), and benzyltributylammonium chloride (0.43 g) in acetonitrile (5 mL) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h and was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was evaporated and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 1:1→0:1) to give the title compound as a solid. Yield: 0.14 g (57% of theory); LC (method 1): tR=1.12 min; Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=180/182 (Cl) [M+H]+.
