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 [(Example 5, Step 1), 500 mg, 2.28 mmol] and 4-iodobenzylbromide (745 mg, 2.51 mmol, 1.1 equiv) were dissolved in degassed N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) and cooled to 0° C. The mixture was treated with sodium hydride (109 mg, 2.74 mmol, 1.2 equiv) portionwise over 5 minutes. After stirring for 2 hours at 0° C., the mixture was warmed to ambient temperature and stirred for an additional 2 hours. The mixture was treated with sodium bicarbonate (10 mL, aqueous saturated), poured into water (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel gradient chromatography (100:0 to 0:100; hexanes:ethyl acetate), providing the titled compound.
