Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of the carboxylic acid (24.4 mmol, 8.6 g) in DCM (100 mL) was added pyridine (81 mmol , 6.4 g) followed pentafluorophenyl trifluoroacetate (40.52 mmol, 11.3 g) drop-wise. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and then at room temperature for 8 h. The reaction was added to 1N HCl (100 mL), and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude product was purified using a mixture of hexanes in ethyl acetate on a 330 g silica gel ISCO column to provide 6-butyl-5-(4-cyclohexyloxy-phenyl)-pyridazine-3-carboxylic acid pentafluorophenyl ester (9.0 g).
