Dimethylformamide → 2-Benzyl-4,5-dichloro-2,3-dihydropyridazin-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask was added 4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one (50 gm, 303.03 mmol), DMF (150 ml), K2CO3 (46 gm, 333.33) and benzyl bromide (51.83 gm, 303.03 mmol). The reaction was stirred at rt for 16 hrs. After this time, the reaction mixture was slowly poured into water (500 ml) and a solid precipitate formed. The slurry was stirred at rt for 1 hr. After this time, the reaction mixture was filtered and the solid was collected. The solid was dried under vacuum to give product 2-benzyl-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one as tan-colored solid (74 gm, 97% yield). HPLC retention time (method A)2.788 min; LCMS (M+1)=255.1.
