Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 3-(3-butyl-5-methyl-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-6-chloro-pyridazine (1.2 g, 3.6 mmol) and sodium carbonate (379 mg, 3.6 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) was evacuated and filled with argon five times. 1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (198 mg, 3.6 mmol) and palladium(II) acetate (80 mg, 0.36 mmol) were added then the flask was evacuated again and filled with carbon monoxide. The reaction mixture was then heated to 50° C. After 15 h the reaction mixture was cooled, filtered through decalite and evaporated. The residue was purified by chromatography (silica, 0 to 50% ethyl acetate in heptane) to give the title compound (1.0 g, 88%) as a light yellow oil. MS: m/e=320.2 [M+H]+.
