Pyridazine positional reactivity

Base-catalyzed hydrogen exchange in pyridazine (74) occurs in NaOD-DgO and MeONa-MeOD, ° the positional reactivity being 4(5) > 3(6) in both cases. Once more the decreased reactivity of a center ortho to a nitrogen atom relative to a more removed center is evident like pyridine, pyridazine does not have the regular geometry of benzene. 

In l,4,5-trichloro-7-phenylpyrido[3,4-c ]pyridazine, the reactivity of the three chloro groups towards nucleophilic substitution by morpholine was reported to be in the order position 5 > 1 > 4.135... 

In 1959 Carboni and Lindsay first reported the cycloaddition reaction between 1,2,4,5-tetrazines and alkynes or alkenes (59JA4342) and this reaction type has become a useful synthetic approach to pyridazines. In general, the reaction proceeds between 1,2,4,5-tetrazines with strongly electrophilic substituents at positions 3 and 6 (alkoxycarbonyl, carboxamido, trifluoromethyl, aryl, heteroaryl, etc.) and a variety of alkenes and alkynes, enol ethers, ketene acetals, enol esters, enamines (78HC(33)1073) or even with aldehydes and ketones (79JOC629). With alkenes 1,4-dihydropyridazines (172) are first formed, which in most cases are not isolated but are oxidized further to pyridazines (173). These are obtained directly from alkynes which are, however, less reactive in these cycloaddition reactions. In general, the overall reaction which is presented in Scheme 96 is strongly... 

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... 

Even though data for a quantitative comparison are lacking, the effect of the position of benzo-fusion onto pyridazines is analogous to that with pyridines in producing the very poorly reactive 3-chloro-cinnoline (396) and highly reactive 1-chlorophthalazine (Table XV, lines 8 and 9). 

Studies of chlorination and bromination of 2//-cyclopenta[reactivity differences dependent on substituents and halogenation conditions. In monochlorination the unsubstituted compound was more reactive than its 2-methyl and 2-phenyl derivatives, the reactivity ratio being 7.1 1.7 1 [78H(11)155]. Chlorination occurred most readily in the 5- and 7-positions of the cyclopentadienyl moiety, but once all three positions had been substituted, NCS attacked the methyl group... 

Nucleophilic substitution with heteroaryl halides is a particularly useful and important reaction. Due to higher reactivity of heteroaryl halides (e.g. 35, equation 24) in nucleophilic substitution these reactions are widely employed for synthesis of Al-heteroaryl hydroxylamines such as 36. Nucleophilic substitution of halogen or sulfonate functions has been performed at positions 2 and 4 of pyridine , quinoline, pyrimidine , pyridazine, pyrazine, purine and 1,3,5-triazine systems. In highly activated positions nucleophilic substitutions of other than halogen functional groups such as amino or methoxy are also common. 

Nucleophilic reactivity at positions 5 and 8 of pyrimido[4,5-i pyridazines was reviewed in CHEC(1984) <1984CHEC(3)329> and in CHEC-II(1996) <1996CHEC-II(7)737>. More recently, the preparation and amination of a 4-chloro species (Scheme 15) has been reported, although details given are limited <1998W098/35967>. 

It was established that the Pd(II) complexes of bmpa were more reactive than those of dien, and the aqua-complexes were much more reactive than the chloro-complexes. The most reactive nucleophile of the five-membered rings is triazole, while pyridazine is the most reactive six-membered ring nucleophile. This could be understood in terms of nitrogen donor atoms in the 1,2-positions rather than in other configurations. As noted earlier, 260 for a given complex, the reactivity is related to the basicity of the... 

In the course of probing the range of reactivity accessible to decamethyl-samarocene, substrates containing C=N double bonds as part of 6-membered heterocycles have been tested. In the reaction with pyridazine reductive carbon-carbon bond formation occurred (compare Sect. 3.2) [99], The coupled ligand bridges two Sm(III) centers via the four nitrogen positions. In the phenazine reaction one phenazine ligand is placed between the Sm(III) centers (Fig. 20 Table 16) [203]. 

Pyrazines have considerable aromatic character and therefore in the majority of their reactions tend to revert to type. The main features of their reactivity may be predicted by regarding them as pyridines into which a nitrogen has been inserted in the para position. Pyrazines also show close similarity in their reactions to the other diazines, pyrimidines, and pyridazines. 

The most important experimental data about NMR, IR, and UV spectroscopy have been reported in CHEC-I. In addition, an AMI SCF-MO study has been published <88JOC3900>. The relaxed reaction profile for aromatic nucleophilic substitution of some chloropyrimido[4,5-J]pyridazine has been investigated using the MNDO procedure <90JST(63)45>. Kinetic measurements and MNDO calculations show that the C-8 position of the pyridazine ring is more reactive than C-5 in nucleophilic substitution reactions, and these follow a two-step SNAr mechanism <89T4485>. 

The aza substituent constants (vide supra) reflect the fact that electron-withdrawing annular nitrogens decrease the reactivity of any other ring nitrogen in the order ortho meta < para. For this reason, pyrazines should quaternize more readily than pyrimidines and pyridazines, and all three diazines should react faster than triazines. When the diazines are included in a Hammett plot for the methylation of substituted pyridines (p = —2.3), the positive deviations showed that they were all more reactive than indicated by their pK values. Relative rates compared with pyridine were pyridazine, 0.25 pyrimidine, 0.044 and pyrazine, 0.036 (72JA2765). Pyridazine in particular appears to be much more reactive than one would expect. (See Section III, A below). 

In pyridazines, base-catalyzed hydrogendeuterium exchange takes place at positions 4 and 5 more easily than at positions 3 and 6. Pyridazine 1-oxide reacts first at positions 5 and 6 and then at C(3) and C(4). Pyrimidine exchanges most readily at the S-position, next at the 4-position, and least readily at the 2-position. In pyrimidine 1-oxide, the reactivity order is 2>6>4>>5. 1,2,4-Triazines easily undergo base-catalyzed hydrogen exchange at the 2-position.
