Sodium hydride → (3aRS,6aSR)-1-Methyl-3-(6-phenylethynyl-pyridazin-3-yl)-hexahydro-cyclopentaimidazol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3aRS, 6aSR)-1-methyl-hexahydro-cyclopentaimidazol-2-one (Example 106, step 3) (55 mg, 0.39 mmol, 1.5 equiv.) in 3 ml of DMF was added 60% sodium hydride suspension in mineral oil (17 mg, 0.42 mmol, 1.6 equiv.). The white suspension was stirred for 30 min. at room temperature. Then 3-chloro-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridazine (CAS 77778-15-5) (56 mg, 0.261 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. After workup with ethyl acetate/water, drying over magnesium sulfate and concentration in vaccuo, the residue was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel eluting with a heptane to 50% ethyl acetate/heptane gradient to yield 40 mg (48% yield) of the title compound as an off-white solid, MS: m/e=319.1 (M+H+).
