Sodium ethoxide → HCID 66663076, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 1,5-dimethyl-2,3-diaza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-ene-6-carboxylate (1.25 g, 6.9 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) was added a solution of NaOEt in ethanol (7 mL 0.2N) and the mixture was stirred for 10 min The resulting solution was partitioned between diethyl ether and water. The organic phase was isolated and the aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and the volatiles were removed in vacuo to afford ethyl 3,5-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridazine-4-carboxylate (1.0 g, 5.5 mmol, 80%) which was partially (circa 50%) oxidized to the pyridazine analog.
