Formaldehyde → (6-Chloroimidazo(1,2-b)pyridazin-3-yl)methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine (1.5 g, 9.8 mmol) in AcOH (50 mL) was added NaOAc (1.4 g, 17.1 mmol) and paraformaldehyde (1.5 g). The mixture was heated at reflux overnight and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was basified to pH=12. Then the mixture was filtered and the solid was washed with EtOH to afford (6-chloro-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-3-yl)methanol (1.3 g) in 72% yield.
