Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-benzyl-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-hydroxypyridazin-3(2H)-one (8.5 g, 27.2 mmol) in phosphorus oxychloride (50 mL) was stirred at 95° C. for 1 h. Analysis by HPLC/MS indicated the starting material had been consumed. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was diluted with EtOAc. The resulting EtOAc solution was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, saturated aqueous NaCl, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified using a silica gel cartridge (330 g) eluting with a gradient of EtOAc (0-40%) in hexanes to afford 6.2 g (69%) of the title compound as a white solid. LC/MS (method A): retention time=3.81 min, (M+H)+=331. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 7.27-7.80 (m, 9H), 6.88 (s, 1H), 5.36 (s, 2H).
