Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

25 g (151 mmoles) of 4,5-dichloropyridazinone are placed in a stainless steel reactor in the presence of 25.13 g (181 mmoles) K2CO3, 1 g (3.03 mmoles) of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 14.2 mL (227 mmoles) of iodomethane in 150 mL acetonitrile. The reaction medium is agitated for 4 h at 115° C. then filtered. The filtrate is concentrated to dryness then solubilized in AcOEt and washed in acid water (pH 1), then with NaCl-saturated water. After drying over Na2SO4, the organic phases are evaporated and the residue obtained is purified by silica gel flash chromatography (CH2Cl2). 19.1 g of intermediate 3a are thus obtained in the form of a yellow solid (yield 70%).
