Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methyl-6-phenylpyridazine (925 mg, 5.43 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (28 ml) were added NBS (1.07 g, 6.01 mmol) and 2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (67.3 mg, 0.271 mmol), followed by stirring at 80° C. for 1 hour. During the reaction, 2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile)(134 mg, 0.540 mmol) was additionally added in two portions. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (eluent; hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1→0:1 (V/V)), and fractions containing the desired compound were concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (449 mg) as a slightly brown solid. (Yield: 33%)
