Water → Ethyl 2-benzyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-3-oxo-4-phenylbutanoate (1.4 g), 1H-pyrrol-1-amine (350 mg), and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (41 mg) in ethanol (10 ml) was refluxed for 5 hours. The mixture was partioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane (1:4) to give ethyl 2-benzyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine-3-carboxylate (828 mg) as an oil.
