Oxalyl chloride → Methyl 6-chloropyridazine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 6-chloropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid (4.2 g, 26.5 mmol) in a mixture of dichloromethane (100 mL) and ethyl acetate (30 mL) and a few drops of DMF was added oxalyl chloride (3 mL, 34 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h until solution was attained, then quenched with 20 mL of methanol. After 15 min, the mixture was concentrated, and the resulting solid was swirled in ether and filtered. The solid was triturated with dichloromethane and the filtrate was evaporated to provide the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, acetone-d6): δ 4.04 (s, 3H), 8.05 (d, 1H), 8.31 (d, 1H).
