Reaction Steps

3-Chloro-6-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)pyridazine (4.0 g, 0.18 mole), dimethyl sulphate (2.55 g, 0.0201 mole), potassium carbonate (10.0 g, 0.072 mole) and dry acetone (100 ml) were stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the inorganic residue was washed with more acetone. Evaporation of the combined filtrates gave a brown residue which was extracted with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The aqueous extract was washed with dichloromethane, treated with charcoal, filtered and acidified. The resulting precipitate was collected, washed with water and crystallised from ethanol to give 3-chloro-6-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)pyridazine (2.2 g, 49%; m.p. 156°-157° ).
