Trifluoroacetic acid → 3-Bromo-6-chloroimidazo(1,2-b)pyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine (5 g, 32.6 mmol) in acetonitrile (300 ml) was added 1-bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione (6.37 g, 35.8 mmol) and trifluoroacetic acid (0.75 mL). The resulting solution was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in EtOAc, washed with NaHCO3 solution, water and brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford 7.2 g title compound in 92% yield as a light yellow solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.91 (d, 1H), 7.79 (s, 1H), 7.12 (d, 1H). LCMS (method A): [MH]+=232/234, tR=4.48 min.
