Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(3-Chloropyridazin-6-yl)-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a two-phase mixture of 6-chloro-3-(2-phenylethynyl)pyridazine (2.3 g), N-aminopyridinium iodide (90% purity; 5.3 g), benzyltrimethylammonium chloride (0.2.0 g), dichloromethane (23 ml), and water (23 ml) was added sodium hydroxide (3.4 g) in one portion. After stirring at ambient temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid followed by dilution with dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted once with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (elution with 25:1 dichloromethane-ethyl acetate) to give 3-(3-chloropyridazin-6-yl)-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine (0.92 g).
