Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen stream, 2,6-dichloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine (0.50 g, 2.66 mmol) and iron(III) acetylacetonate (0.094 g, 0.27 mmol) were added to tetrahydrofuran (5.0 ml), and a solution of n-propylmagnesium bromide in tetrahydrofuran (2 M, 1.99 ml, 3.99 mmol) was added dropwise over 13 minutes to the mixture with stirring at 0 to 10° C. After stirring for 10 minutes under ice-cooling, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 6 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice-cold water, acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with dilute hydrochloric acid, an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and a saturated saline. The resulting organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtrated and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=3:7) to give the title compound as pale yellow crystals. The yield was 0.28 g (53.8%).
