Participants

Reaction Steps

4.2 g (15 millimoles) of 6-[p-(3-formylpyrrol-1-yl)-phenyl]-5, 6-dihydro-5-methylpyridazin-3-one (Example 1A) were dissolved in 50 ml of ethanol and 20 ml of dimethylformamide (DMF), and 1.15 g (30 millimoles) of sodium borohydride were added. The mixture was stirred for 6 hours at 60° C. (conversion monitored by thin layer chromatography using SiO2 and 9:1 CH2Cl2 /CH3OH), after which 50 ml of water were added, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, the ethyl acetate phase was dried and the solvent was stripped off in a rotary evaporator to give a yellow crystalline solid. Recrystallization from DMF/H2O gave 2.5 g of 6-[p-(3-hydroxymethyl-pyrrol-1-yl)-phenyl]-4, 5-dihydro-5-methylpyridazinone of melting point 184°-186° C.
