Ammonia → 6-Chloro-5-methylpyridazin-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Ammonia (32% solution in water, 54 mL) was added to a solution of 3,6-dichloro-4-methylpyridazine (5.0 g, 30.67 mmol) in ethanol (25 mL) in a sealed tube. The resulting mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 70 hours, cooled down and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (3:2 hexanes/ethyl acetate to 100% ethyl acetate) to yield the title compound (3.8 g, 57%) as a mixture of two isomers which was used in the next step without further purification.
