Reaction Steps

n-Butyl 6-[N-(5-bromo-2-(2-chloroprop-2-en-1-yloxy)benzyl)-N-ethylamino]pyridazine-3-carboxylate (0.24 g, 0.5 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (2 ml), THF (2 ml) and treated with aqueous 1N sodium hydroxide solution (2 ml). The resultant solution was left at ambient temperature for 1.5 hours, evaporated to low bulk and the resultant precipitate dissolved in water and acidified with acetic acid to give a gummy precipitate. It was extracted with methylene chloride and the organic extracts dried and evaporated to give a gum. Trituration with ether yielded a solid which was filtered and sucked dry to give the title compound as a white solid (0.16 g, 75%).
