Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of imidazole (0.613 g, 8 mmol) and 3,6-dichloropyridazine (1.55 g, 10 mmol), K2CO3 (4.15 g) and DMF (15 mL) was heated at 70-80° C. overnight. After removal of DMF in vacuo, the residual solid was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (50 mL), washed with 1N Na2CO3 aq. solution, and dried (MgSO4). Separation using column chromatography (CH2Cl2/methanol 100:1) afforded 3-chloro-6-(imidazol-1-yl)pyridazine (1.2 g) as a white solid.
