Reaction Steps

2-[6-(6-Chloro-2-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-pyridazin-4-ylamino)-pyridin-3-yloxy]-2-methyl-propionic acid ethyl ester (1.23 g, 3.35 mmol, Eq: 1.00) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (25 ml) and cooled to −30° C. (dry ice/acetonitrile cooling bath) under nitrogen atmosphere A solution of lithium aluminum hydride (4.7 ml, 4.69 mmol, 1.0 M in THF) was added slowly, over 10 minutes via drop-wise addition. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour while maintaining the bath temperature at about −20° C. The reaction was carefully quenched by adding water (0.1 ml) and stirring for 10 minutes to ambient. Then a 5% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (0.19 ml) was added and the mixture stirred for 10 minutes. Water (0.19 ml) was added and stirring continued for 10 minutes. Finally magnesium sulfate was added and the material was filtered through a plug of celite, rinsing well with tetrahydrofuran. The material was concentrated on a rotary evaporator to about half the volume. Ethyl acetate (50 ml) and water (70 ml) was added and the material was shaken in a reparatory funnel. The organic phase was collected and the aqueous phase was back extracted with ethyl acetate (2×40 ml). The organics were combined, dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated from hot dichloromethane/hexanes to provide the desired product as a light yellow-brown solid (1.041 g). (M+H)+=325 m/e.
