Aniline → HCID 1481283, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of aniline (0.360 mL, 3.95 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 mL) was cooled on an ice water bath then treated with a solution of trimethyl aluminum (2 M in toluene, 2.0 mL, 4.0 mmol). After the addition was complete, the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 30 min. At that point, methyl 4-oxo-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,4-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylate (0.595 g, 2.00 mmol) was added and the reaction was heated at reflux for 18 h. After that time, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and carefully quenched with HCl aqueous solution (1 N, 5 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride (3×10 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexanes to give 0.214 g (30%) of 4-oxo-N-phenyl-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,4-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxamide as yellow crystals.
