2-(5-Methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)ethyl bromide → 2-[2-(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)ethyl]-6-diphenylmethyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-diphenylmethyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone (0.22 g) and potassium tert-butoxide (0.10 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml) was added a solution of 2-(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)ethyl bromide (0.18 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (3 ml) at room temperature. The reactIon mixture was stirred for 2 hours at the same temperature and partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water (3 times) and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed (n-hexane - ethyl acetate) over silica gel to afford 2-[2-(5-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)ethyl]-6-diphenylmethyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone (0.25 g) as an oil.
