Toluene → 4-Methoxy-3-(2-methylphenoxy)-6-phenylpyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

210 mg (0.837 mmol) of 6-chloro-4-methoxy-3-(2-methylphenoxy)pyridazine obtained in Example 2 (1), toluene (4 mL) and water (0.5 mL) were mixed, 161 mg (1.32 mmol) of phenylboronic acid, 365 mg (2.64 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 102 mg (0.0879 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium were successively added to the mixture at room temperature, and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 hours and 50 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature overnight, the mixture was filtered through Celite, and ethyl acetate and water were added to the filtrate. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was removed. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluted with hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to obtain 146 mg (0.500 mmol, Yield: 59.7%) of 4-methoxy-3-(2-methylphenoxy)-6-phenylpyridazine.
