Procedure

1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene (2.0 g, 11.9 mmol) was slowly added to a suspension of aluminum chloride (1.6 g, 11.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) at 0° C. After the addition was complete phthalic anhydride (1.76 g, 11.9 mmol) was added. The resulting solution heated to reflux and stirred overnight. After that time, the reaction was cooled to rt, concentrated under reduced pressure and cautiously quenched with ice-water. The resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×100 mL). The organic phase was dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting material was combined with N-benzylhydrazine hydrochloride (0.68 g, 3.5 mmol) and potassium acetate (1.62 g, 16.5 mmol) in ethanol (100 mL). The mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h. After that time, the reaction was cooled to rt, concentrated under reduced pressure and diluted with dichloromethane (200 mL). The organic phase was washed with saturated NaHCO3, then water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, hexanes/ethyl acetate) to give 2-benzyl-4-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)phthalazin-1(2H)-one (0.37 g, 28%) as a colorless solid: mp 144-145° C.; 1H NMR (400 M Hz, CDCl3) δ 8.49 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 7.76-7.66 (m, 2H), 7.49 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.41 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.34-7.28 (m, 2H), 7.27-7.22 (m, 1H), 7.04 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.80 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 5.47 (s, 2H), 3.94 (s, 6H), 3.64 (s, 3H); ESI MS m/z 389.1 [M+H]+.
