Reaction Steps

In a procedure similar to those of the preceding examples, 40 grams of 3-chloro-4,5-dimethyl-6-hydrazinopyridazine and 200 milliliters of aqueous 80 percent formic acid were heated at reflux for 90 minutes to obtain 6-chloro-7,8-dimethyl-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine. This triazolopyridazine (9.18 grams, 0.05 mole) was mixed with 12.25 grams N-methylpiperazine in 80 milliliters of ethanol, and the mixture was heated at reflux for 3 hours. The product was recovered by evaporation, partitioning the oily residue between methylene chloride and water and evaporation of the organic layer. The resulting 6-(N-methylpiperazino)-7,8-dimethyl-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine was obtained as colorless crystals. Thin layer chromatography on silica gel developed with 90 percent chloroform: 10 percent methanol indicated the presence of triazolopyridazine intermediate in the product. The product was taken up in excess N-methylpiperazine and heated at reflux for 12 hours, followed by 2 hours of reflux in 20 milliliters of N-methylpiperazine. The resulting 6-(N-methylpiperazino)-7,8-dimethyl-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine was obtained as colorless crystals. Thin layer chromatography on silica gel developed with 90 percent chloroform: 10 percent methanol indicated the presence of triazolopyridazine intermediate in the product. The product was taken up in excess N-methylpiperazine and heated at reflux for 12 hours, followed by 2 hours of reflux in 20 milliliters of N-methylpiperazine. The resulting 6-(N-methylpiperazino)-7,8-dimethyl-s-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine was separated as before, crystallized from benzene-hexane and found to melt at 170°-172° C.
