Pyridazine 3,6-dichloro

C12H10CI2N2O2 Pyridazine 3,6-Dichloro-4-[ -hydroxy-2 (or 4)-methoxy-benzyl]- E9a, 626 (H -> CHAr-OH)... 

Direct chlorination of 3,6-dichloropyridazine with phosphorus pentachloride affords 3,4,5,6-tetrachloropyridazine. The halogen is usually introduced next to the activating oxo group. Thus, 1,3-disubstituted pyridazin-6(l//)-ones give the corresponding 5-chloro derivatives, frequently accompanied by 4,5-dichloro compounds as by-products on treatment with chlorine, phosphorus pentachloride or phosphoryl chloride-phosphorus pentachloride. 

Reaction of various pyridazine derivatives with nitromethane or nitroethane in DMSO affords the corresponding 5-methyl and 5-ethyl derivatives. The reaction proceeds as a nucleophilic attack of the nitroalkane at the position 5. In this way, 3,6-dichloro-4-cyano-pyridazine, 4-carboxy- and 4-ethoxycarbonyl-pyridazin-3(2//)-ones and 4-carboxy- and 4-ethoxycarbonyl-pyridazin-6(lH)-ones can be alkylated at position 5 (77CPB1856). 

In some instances a carbon-carbon bond can be formed with C-nucleophiles. For example, 3-carboxamido-6-methylpyridazine is produced from 3-iodo-6-methylpyridazine by treatment with potassium cyanide in aqueous ethanol and l,3-dimethyl-6-oxo-l,6-dihydro-pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid from 4-chloro-l,3-dimethylpyridazin-6-(lH)-one by reaction with a mixture of cuprous chloride and potassium cyanide. Chloro-substituted pyridazines react with Grignard reagents. For example, 3,4,6-trichloropyridazine reacts with f-butyl-magnesium chloride to give 4-t-butyl-3,5,6-trichloro-l,4-dihydropyridazine (120) and 4,5-di-t-butyl-3,6-dichloro-l,4-dihydropyridazine (121) and both are converted into 4-t-butyl-3,6-dichloropyridazine (122 Scheme 38). 

Alkyl- and aryl-pyridazines can be prepared by cross-coupling reactions between chloropyridazines and Grignard reagents in the presence of nickel-phosphine complexes as catalysts. Dichloro[l,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane]nickel is used for alkylation and dichloro[l,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]nickel for arylation (78CPB2550). 3-Alkynyl-pyridazines and their A-oxides are prepared from 3-chloropyridazines and their A-oxides and alkynes using a Pd(PPh3)Cl2-Cu complex and triethylamine (78H(9)1397). 

Hydroxyphthalazin-l(2//)-one is obtained in a smooth reaction between phthalic anhydride and hydrazine hydrate and this is again the starting compound for many 1-substituted and/or 1,4-disubstituted phthalazines. The transformations of 1,4-dichloro-phthalazine, which is prepared in the usual manner, follow a similar pattern as shown for pyridazines in Scheme 110. On the other hand, phthalonitrile is the preferential starting compound for amino- and hydrazino-phthalazines. The most satisfactory synthesis of phthalazine is the reaction between a,a,a, a -tetrachloro-o-xylene and hydrazine sulfate in sulfuric acid (67FRP1438827), alt iough catalytic dehalogenation of 1-chloro- or 1,4-dichloro-phthalazine or oxidation of 1-hydrazinophthalazine also provides the parent compound in moderate yield. 

Selective substitutions have been most studied in the pyrido[3,4-tf]pyridazine field. The 1,4-dichloro derivative (334) was more reactive than 1,4-dichlorophthalazine, and was expected from MO calculations to show a more reactive 4-chlorine group. In practice, however, almost equal amounts of monosubstitution products were observed on hydrolysis, although slight differences in the use of alkaline and acid conditions, or on hydrazination, have been reported (69CPB2266). Reaction of this 1,4-dichloro compound, or substituted...

Direct deactivation by a methoxy group makes 3-chloro-6-methoxy-pyridazine unreactive toward sulfanilamide anion in contrast to its 6-chloro, 6-methyl, and 6-hydrogen analogs. Both direct and indirect deactivation of the two chlorines in 3,6-dichloro-4-methoxy-pyridazine (160) are possible the greater reactivity at the... 

Factor b above is discussed in Sections II, B, 1 II, B, 4 and II, C. A hydrogen-bonded structure such as 221 can account for the facile reaction of 5-bromouracil or for the unique, so-called hydrolyzability of carboxymethylthio-azines (237). The latter may also react via the intramolecular mechanism indicated in 136. The hydrogen-bonded transition state 238 seems a reasonable explanation of the fact that 3,4,6- and 3,4,5-trichloropyridazines react with glacial acetic acid selectively to give 3-pyridazinones while other nucleophiles (alkoxides, hydrazine, ammonia, or sulfanilamide anion) react at the 4- and 5-positions. In this connection, 4-amino-3,5-dichloro-pyridazine in liquid hydrazine gives (95°, 3hr, 60%yield)the isomer-... 

The ease of reaction of halopyridazines is indicated by the exothermic nature of the reaction of 3,6-dichloropyridazine with sodium methoxide at room temperature to yield 3-chloro-6-methoxy-pyridazine. Displacement of the deactivated chloro group in the latter required heating (66°, < 8 hr) the reaction mixture. Competitive methoxy-dechlorination (20°, 12 hr) of 3,4,6-trichloropyridazine shows the superior reactivity of the 4-position the 3,6-dichloro-4-methoxy analog (296) was isolated in high yield. The greater reactivity of the... 

This selectivity has been confirmed in these Laboratories by J. Adams. The two deactivations are more nearly equivalent in 3,4-dichloro-5-methoxy-pyridazine judging from its monomethoxylation product. osb... 

A derivative of an isomeric azapurine ring system interestingly exhibits bronchodilator activity, possibly indicating interaction with a target for theophylline. The starting pyridazine 97 is available from dichloro compound 96 by sequential replacement of the halogens. Treatment of 97 with formic acid supplies the missing carbon and cyclizes the intermediate formamide with consequent formation of zindotrine (98) [16]. 

When the pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine (211) was heated with phosphoryl chloride and dimethylaniline 212 was formed (71CPB1849). Some oxo derivatives appear to be resistant to chlorination e.g., the pyrimido [5,4-c]pyridazine derivative (213) would not react (68JHC523). 2- Arylpyrim-ido[4,5-[Pg.337]

From the examination of structure-activity relationships, it has been concluded that a phenyl moiety at C-6 as well as a 4-hydroxypiperidine side-chain attached to C-3 of the pyridazine system is essential for anticonvulsant activity in this class of compounds [184], Compounds (54) and (55) have been found to have similar anticonvulsant profiles in animals (mice, rats and baboons) [165, and literature cited therein] and to represent potent broad-spectrum antiepileptic drugs. Their potency with regard to antagonizing seizures (induced by electro-shock or various chemicals) has been compared with standard anticonvulsants like carbamazepine and phenobarbitone [185, 186], A quantitative electroencephalographic analysis of (55) has been published [187]. From in vitro studies it has been concluded that the anticonvulsant activities of these compounds are not mediated by an enhancement of GABAergic transmission or by an interaction with benzodiazepine receptor sites [ 165,186,187], On the other hand, in vivo experiments showed that (54), at anticonvulsant doses, increases the affinity of flunitrazepam for its central receptor site [ 186], Investigations of (54) and (55) in a behavioural test predictive of antianxiety activity revealed a marked difference in the pharmacological profiles of these structurally closely related compounds the dichloro compound SR 41378 (55) has also been found to possess anxiolytic (anticonflict) properties [165],... 

The inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction of 3,6-dichloro[l,2,4,5]tetrazine with alkenes and alkynes provides the synthesis of highly functionalized pyridazines. ° Also, the 4 + 2-cycloaddition reactions of the parent [l,2,4,5]tetrazine with donor-substituted alkynes, alkenes, donor-substituted and unsubstituted cycloalkenes, ketene acetals, and aminals have been investigated. ... 

Bromination of 1114 gave l-(3-bromo-2-oxopropyl)pyridazin-6-ones (1116) as a major product in addition to 1115 (91JHC385). Reaction of 1116 with sodium azide gave the corresponding l-(3-azido-2-oxopropyl)-pyridazin-6-ones 1117, which was reduced to 1118. 4,5-Dichloro-l-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)pyridazin-6-one 1121 was also prepared from 1116 via 1119 and the corresponding 2,3-epoxypropyl derivative 1120 (91JHC1235). 

The direct metalation of 5-methylpyrimidine and 5,5 -bipyrimidinyl in the 4-position has been reported with LDA in low yield [74TL2373 75AG(E)713], but apart from that there are few other reports on the direct metalation of unactivated diazines. However, as with pyridine and quinoline, directed metalation can readily be achieved with all three of the diazine systems when the appropriate substituent groups are present [91AHC(52)187]. Thus, the direct lithiation of pyridazine in the 4-position has now been achieved with both the 3,6-dichloro and the...
