Tetrahydrofuran → 1-(6-Chloropyridazin-3-yl)ethan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloro-pyridazine-3-carbonitrile (prepared according to MacDonald et al., WO/2008/068277) (100 mg, 0.71 mmol) in dry THF (3.6 mL) was cooled to −50° C. in a dry ice/acetone bath. Methylmagnesium bromide (1.0 M in MePh/THF, 0.54 mL, 0.75 mmol) was added via syringe in one portion. The cold bath was removed and the reaction was stirred for 1.5 h. To the reaction mixture was added saturated aqueous NH4Cl and this mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organics were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica, 0→4% MeOH/CH2Cl2) to give 34 mg of 1-(6-chloro-pyridazin-3-yl)-ethanone as a brown semi-solid, m/z 157.3 [M+H]+.
