Phosphorus trichloride is also very useful for deoxygenatioii of pyridazine -oxides,and with phosphorus oxychloride simultaneous deoxygenation and chlorination of the pyridazine nucleus take place. The chlorine atom enters at the position... 

Alternate Names pyridazine Al-oxide, pyridazine oxide. 

The H NMR spectrum of pyridazine shows two symmetrical quartets of an A2X2 or A2B2 type dependent on the solvent and concentration. The satellites have been used to obtain all coupling constants. Spectra of C-substituted pyridazines, methylthio- and methylsulfonyl-pyridazines, both as neutral molecules and as cations, N-1 and N-2 quater-nized species, pyridazinones, hydroxypyridazinones, A-oxides and 1,2-dioxides have been reviewed (b-73NMR88> and are summarized in Tables 6, 7 and 8.

The ESR spectrum of the pyridazine radical anion, generated by the action of sodium or potassium, has been reported, and oxidation of 6-hydroxypyridazin-3(2//)-one with cerium(IV) sulfate in sulfuric acid results in an intense ESR spectrum (79TL2821). The self-diffusion coefficient and activation energy, the half-wave potential (-2.16 eV) magnetic susceptibility and room temperature fluorescence in-solution (Amax = 23 800cm life time 2.6 X 10 s) are reported. 

There are various photochemical transformations of pyridazines, their corresponding benzo analogs, N-oxides and N-imides. Gas-phase photolysis of pyridazine affords nitrogen and vinylacetylene as the main products. Perfluoropyridazine gives first perfluoropyrazine, which isomerizes slowly into perfluoropyrimidine. 

Photolysis of pyridazine IV-oxide and alkylated pyridazine IV-oxides results in deoxygenation. When this is carried out in the presence of aromatic or methylated aromatic solvents or cyclohexane, the corresponding phenols, hydroxymethyl derivatives or cyclohexanol are formed in addition to pyridazines. In the presence of cyclohexene, cyclohexene oxide and cyclohexanone are generated. 

Transformation of pyridazine 1-oxides and their methyl derivatives into cyclopropyl ketones and/or substituted furans can also occur (Scheme 14). 

Phototransformation of pyridazine 1,2-dioxides sharply contrasts with that of pyridazine 1-oxides. Pyridazine 1,2-dioxide derivatives give 3a,6a-dihydroisoxazolo[5,4- f]isoxazoles (53) through postulated bisiminoxyl radicals. 3,6-Diphenylpyridazine 1,2-dioxide gives, besides the corresponding bicyclic derivative (53), 3-phenylisoxazole (54) and 4,5-diphenyl-furoxan (55). The last two products can be explained by generation of the nitrile oxide from the intermediate (53) with subsequent dimerization to the furoxan (55 Scheme 18) (79T1267). 

IV-Oxidation of 3,6-dialkoxypyridazines (OMe, OEt, OPr", OBu") gives monoxides, while 3,6-di-r-butoxy- and 3,6-dibenzyloxy-pyridazine cannot be IV-oxidized, but give 6-hydroxy-pyridazin-3(2/f)-one and 6-benzyloxypyridazin-3(2//)-one as hydrolysis products. Methyl-thiopyridazines give both 5-oxidation and IV-oxidation products with various oxidizing agents in some instances. 

Direct oxidation of pyridazine and its derivatives with hydrogen peroxide (50-90%) in acetic acid gives, besides the isomeric mono 1- and 2-oxides, also the corresponding... 

When nitration of pyridazine iV-oxides is carried out with acyl nitrates (prepared in situ from acyl chlorides and silver nitrate) the reaction takes place at the /3-position relative to the iV-oxide group. Under these circumstances only mononitro derivatives are formed. For example, nitration of pyridazine 1-oxide with acetyl nitrate yields 3-nitropyridazine 1-oxide (17%) and 5-nitropyridazine 1-oxide (0.8%), whereas with benzoyl nitrate a better yield of 5-nitropyridazine 1-oxide is obtained. 

Pyridazine 1-oxides substituted at position 3 or positions 3 and 6 afford the corresponding 5-nitro derivatives. A methyl group at position 6 (a with respect to the iV-oxide group) is frequently converted into the cyano group, and a methoxy group at position 6 is demethy-lated by benzoyl chloride/silver nitrate. For example, 3-substituted 6-methylpyridazine 1-oxides give the 5-nitro derivatives (96) and the 6-cyano-5-nitro derivatives (97), whereas... 

Mannich reaction with pyridazinone 1-oxides takes place at the a- or y-positions relative to the iV-oxide group, in contrast to the reaction in the pyridazinone series, where N-substituted products are formed. Pyridazin-3(2FT)-one 1-oxide gives first the corresponding 6-substituted derivative with excess of the reagents, 4,6-disubstituted products are obtained. When position 6 is blocked the corresponding 4-dialkylaminomethyl derivatives are obtained. 

Bromination of pyridazin-3(2F/)-one 1-oxide and 5-hydroxypyridazine 1-oxide affords... 

Nucleophilic substitution in the pyridazine 1-oxide series takes place either according to pathway (a) or pathway (b) (Scheme 31). Pathway (a) operates when position 6 is unsubstituted. 

Treatment of pyridazine 1-oxides with phosphorus oxychloride results in a-chlorination with respect to the N-oxide group, with simultaneous deoxygenation. When the a-position is blocked, substitution occurs at the y-position. 3-Methoxypyridazine 1-oxide, for example, is converted into 6-chloro-3-methoxypyridazine and 3,6-dimethylpyridazine 1-oxide into 4-chloro-3,6-dimethylpyridazine. 

Chloro-4-methyl- and 6-methoxy-4-methyl-pyridazine 1-oxides give the corresponding 4-acetoxymethyl derivatives, while the corresponding 6-substituted 5-methylpyridazine 1-oxides do not react at the methyl group. 

A substituted acyl amino group can be introduced by reaction of pyridazine 1-oxide with A-phenylbenzonitrilium hexachloroantimonate 3-A-benzoylanilinopyridazine is formed (75JOC41). 

A very useful procedure for introducing a cyano group into a pyridazine ring is the Reissert-type reaction of the A/-oxide with cyanide ion in the presence of an acyl halide or dimethyl sulfate. The cyano group is introduced into the a-position with respect to the A-oxide function of the starting compound. The yields are, however, generally poor. In this way, 6-cyanopyridazines (111) can be obtained from the corresponding pyridazine 1-oxides (Scheme 33). 

When chloro compounds are treated with sodium azide in ethanol or aqueous acetone the corresponding azides or tetrazolo[l,5-6]pyridazines are obtained. For example, 3-azido-and 4-azido-pyridazine 1-oxides are obtained from the corresponding chloro compounds ... 

The reactivity of halogens in pyridazine N- oxides towards nucleophilic substitution is in the order 5 > 3 > 6 > 4. This is supported by kinetic studies of the reaction between the corresponding chloropyridazine 1-oxides and piperidine. In general, the chlorine atoms in pyridazine A-oxides undergo replacement with alkoxy, aryloxy, piperidino, hydrazino, azido, hydroxylamino, mercapto, alkylmercapto, methylsulfonyl and other groups. 

The second most important nucleophilic substitution in pyridazine A-oxides is the replacement of a nitro group. Nitro groups at the 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-position are easily substituted thermally with a chlorine or bromine atom, using acetyl chloride or hydrobromic acid respectively. Phosphorus oxychloride and benzoyl chloride are used less frequently for this purpose. Nitro groups in nitropyridazine A-oxides are easily replaced by alkoxide. The... 

There are several examples of replacement of methoxy and ethoxy groups in substituted pyridazine N- oxides, with ammonia or hydrazine producing the corresponding amino and hydrazino compounds. 

Amino groups in pyridazine A-oxides can be diazotized and the diazonium group further replaced by halogens, hydroxy group or hydrogen. So, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-bromopyridazine 1-oxides can be prepared from the corresponding amino A-oxides. 

When 6-amino-3-chloropyridazine 1-oxide is diazotized in 50% sulfuric acid, 6-hydroxy-3-pyridazinediazonium anhydro salt is formed. An azido group at either position in pyridazine A-oxides can readily be replaced with sodium alkoxides. 

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). 

Reaction of pyridazine 1-oxide with phenylmagnesium bromide gives 1,4-diphenyl-butadiene as the main product and l-phenylbut-l-en-3-yne and 3,6-diphenylpyridazine as by-products, while alkyl Grignard reagents lead to the corresponding 1,3-dienes exclusively (79JCS(P1)2136>. 

In pyridazine, base-catalyzed hydrogen-deuterium exchange takes place at positions 4 and 5 more easily than at positions 3 or 6. Deuteration of pyridazine 1-oxide in NaOD/DiO... 

In pyridazin-3(2//)-one only the hydrogen at position 6 is replaced at 180 °C, while in 3-hydroxypyridazine 1-oxide the deuterium exchange takes place first at position 6 and then at position 4 at 140 °C. 5-Hydroxy- and 5-methoxy-pyridazine 1-oxide exchange only the hydrogen at position 6 at 150 °C. 

Pyridazine fV-oxides react with benzyne to give a mbcture of 1-benzoxepin (129) and arylpyridazine (130), while fV-acetylpyridaziniumimide forms a cycloadduct (131) which is further transformed into (132) and (133) (Scheme 44). 

Since the pyridazine ring is generally more stable to oxidation than a benzene ring, oxidation of alkyl and aryl substituted cinnolines and phthalazines can be used for the preparation of pyridazinedicarboxylic acids. For example, oxidation of 4-phenylcinnoline with potassium permanganate yields 5-phenylpyridazine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid, while alkyl substituted phthalazines give pyridazine-4,5-dicarboxylic acids under essentially the same reaction conditions. 

Methylpyridazine can be oxidized with selenium dioxide to give 3-formylpyridazine, and methyl groups attached to any position in pyridazine N-oxides are transformed with pentyl nitrite in the presence of sodium amide in liquid ammonia into the corresponding...
