Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4,5-Dichloro-2H-pyridazin-3-one (30 g, 182 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (47.5 mL, 258 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2.20 g, 18.2 mmol) were dissolved in 200 mL of methylene chloride, to which was slowly added dropwise chloromethyl methyl ether (16.6 mL, 21.8 mmol) while maintaining at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. The reaction solution was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, distilled under reduced pressure, and separated-purified by column chromatography (10% methylene chloride/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (26.6 g, Yield: 70%) as a yellow solid.
