Imidazole → 3-Chloro-6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3,6-dichloropyridazine (Aldrich, 300 mg, 2.0 mmol), imidazole (Aldrich, 163 mg, 2.4 mmol), and diisopropylethylamine (620 mg, 4.8 mmol) in 1.5 mL 1,2-dichlorobenzene was heated in a sealed tube to 120° C. at 330 watts for 45 min in an Emry™ Creator microwave. The crude reaction mixture was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, 1% methanol-CH2Cl2) to give 135 mg of the title compound (0.75 mmol, 38% yield) as the major product. MS (DCl/NH3) m/z 181 (M+H)+.
