Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-methylethoxy)-4-pyridinol (0.64 g, 3.09 mmol), 3-chloro-5-methoxy-pyridazine (0.44 g, 3.09 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.85 g, 6.18 mmol) and CuBr (0.89 g, 6.18 mmol) were stirred under nitrogen in diglyme (5 mL) at 100° C. for 6 days. The mixture was then poured in water and extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated in-vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography to give 5-methoxy-3-[[2-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methylethoxy)-4-pyridinyl]oxy]pyridazine (0.42 g, 43% yield, Compound No. 10) as a white solid, mp=100° C. -102° C.
