Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-hydroxy-1,5-dimethyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylate (1.85 g, 8.72 mmol) and POCl3 (9 mL) was heated for 16 hours at 85° C. POCl3 was removed under reduced pressure. Then the crude material was quenched with ice-water. The mixture was neutralized with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (pH ˜6 to 7) and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude material that was purified by silica gel flash column chromatography (100% hexanes to 5 to 10 to 20% EtOAc in hexanes) to afford 1.72 g (86%) of the desired product.
