Iodoethane → 4-(3,5-Dichloro-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-2-ethyl-7-methoxy-2H-phthalazin-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-(3,5-dichloro-pyridin-4-ylmethyl)-7-methoxy-2H-phthalazin-1-one (0.52 g, 1.55 mmoles), prepared as described in example 38, in DMF (10 ml) was added with NaH (0.057 g, 1.55 mmoles) and, after 1 hour, with ethyl iodide (0.125 ml, 1.55 mmoles). After 1 night the mixture was diluted with water (10 volumes) and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was anhydrified and concentrated to give a solid which was purified by flash chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/petrolatum 3:7). There was thus obtained 0.44 g of the title compound (yield: 78%). m.p.: 150.2-151.2° C.
