Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To the solution of piperidin-4-yl-methanol (125 mg, 1.03 mmol) in NMP (3 mL) is added 3-benzyl-6-chloro-4,5-dimethyl-pyridazine (60 mg, 0.258 mmol) and TEA. The reaction mixture is stirred at 210° C. in a microwave reactor for 2 h. Then the reaction mixture is diluted with DCM (15 mL) and washed with NaHCO3 and water. The organic solvent is separated and removed under reduced pressure. Purification by HPLC of the crude product with acetonitrile in water (from 20% to 100% with 3% 1-propanol) at 220 nm wavelength detection provides the desired product as off white powder (200 mg, 62%).
