3,5-Dimethylphenol → 3-(3,5-dimethylphenoxy)-6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3 parts of 3.5-dimethylphenol, 1.25 parts of sodium hydride dispersion 50% and 25 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide was stirred for 15 minutes. Then there was added a solution of 4.5 parts of 3-chloro-6-(1H--imidazol-1-yl)pyridazine in 25 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide and the whole was stirred over weekend at 50° C. The reaction mixture was poured onto water and the product was extracted with trichloromethane. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was crystallized from 2-propanone, yielding 3.5 parts of 3-(3.5-dimethylphenoxy)-6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridazine; mp. 169.8° C. (compound 2).
