Ethyl bromoacetate → Ethyl 2-(4,5-dibromo-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl)acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

4,5-Dibromopyridazin-3(2H)-one (5.0 g, 19.7 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) was stirred with ethyl bromoacetate (3.28 g, 29.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (4.08 g, 29.5 mmol) at 80° C. for 1 hour and 40 minutes. After completion of the reaction, ethyl acetate was added, and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride three times and with saturated aqueous sodium chloride once, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the desired product (7.42 g, 100% yield).
