Methyl iodide → 4-chloro-3-iodo-1-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 674 mg, 16.9 mmol) was added to a suspension of 4-chloro-3-iodo-5-phenyl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-c]pyridazine (3 g, 8.4 mmol) in dry DMF (42 mL) then methyl iodide (1.05 mL, 16.9 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h. LiCl solution (4% in water) and ethyl acetate were added and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, ethyl acetate/isohexane 0:1 to 1:1) yielding the intermediate as a solid (1.51 g).
