Bromine → Methyl 3-(6-amino-5-bromopyridazin-3-yl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 150 mL round bottom flask was placed methyl 3-(6-aminopyridazin-3-yl)benzoate (2.29 g, 10 mmol), NaHCO3 (1.68 g, 20 mmol) and methanol (40 mL). To this suspension was added Br2 (1.6 g, 10 mmol) drop wise over about 30 minutes at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 16 h, then filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica gel, 200-300 mesh, petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give methyl 3-(6-amino-5-bromopyridazin-3-yl)benzoate (1.2 g, 39%) as a light orange solid. LC-MS: [M+H]+, 308.0, tR=1.377 min.
