Sodium Azide → 2-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)-4-azido-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)-4-chloro-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone, prepared according to Example 193E, (500 mg, 1.36 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (10 mL) and treated with NaN3 (100 mg, 1.5 mmol). After 2 hours at room temperature, the reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water, 4 times, and dried over MgSO4. After filtration of the drying agent and concentration of the filtrate in vacuo, the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel (Biotage 40S) eluted with 2:1 hexanes-ethyl acetate. The product fractions were combined and evaporated to provide the azido intermediate, 2-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl)-4-azido-5-[4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-3(2H)-pyridazinone (yield: 481 mg, 95%).
