2-Benzyl-4,5-dichloro-2,3-dihydropyridazin-3-one → 2-Benzyl-5-chloro-4-methoxypyridazin-3(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 2-benzyl-4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one (22.9 g, 89.8 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (300 mL) at RT under argon was added NaOMe (22.4 mL, 25% solution in MeOH, 97.9 mmol) over 10 min by syringe. After 2 h, TLC indicated the reaction was completed. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. A saturated solution of NaCl (200 mL) was added and the resulting solution was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), concentrated under vacuum and purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with CH2Cl2 to give the title compound, 2-benzyl-5-chloro-4-methoxypyridazin-3(2H)-one (20.3 g, 90%) as a colorless oil. TLC (CH2Cl2, Rf=0.4); MS [M+H]+ 251; HPLC retention time=2.74 min.
