Potassium Hydroxide → 3-Bromoimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-6-chloro-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine [13526-66-4] (425.7 mg, 1.8 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (9 mL) was added a solution of potassium hydroxide [1310-58-3] (185.4 mg, 2.8 mmol) in water (9.0 mL) and the stirred resultant solution heated to reflux under N2 for 3d, cooled and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The water phase was evaporated to dryness, taken up in methanol, filtered, and evaporated to yield 3-bromo-imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-6-one as 340 mg of yellow solid. LRMS (ESI) m/z 214.0/216.0 [(M+H)]+, calc'd for C6H4BrN3O3: 214.02.
