Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrido[2,3-c]pyridazine-3-carboxylate (1.00 g, 4.56 mmol) and 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)pyridine (813 mg, 5.02 mmol, 1.1 equiv) were combined in degassed N,N-dimethylformamide and cooled to 0° C. Sodium hydride (219 mg, 5.47 mmol, 1.2 equiv) was added portionwise over 5 minutes and the mixture was stirred for an additional 1 hour at 0° C. The mixture was warmed to ambient temperature, stirred for 1 hour and poured into sodium bicarbonate (150 mL, aqueous saturated). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×150 mL) and the combined organic extracts were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel gradient chromatography (100:0 to 0:100; hexanes:ethyl acetate), providing the titled compound as a white solid.
