Solid-phase syntheses of 6-arylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones.

The 3-chloropyridazine moiety was immobilized on a Wang resin, using two different methodologies. The first of these involved direct nucleophilic substitution of 3,6-dichloropyridazine with the alcoholate of Wang resin. The experimental conditions were optimized. The second method involved a Mitsunobu reaction between the Wang resin and 6-chloropyridazin-3-ol during which a problem of regioselectivity was observed. The so-obtained chloropyridazine-containing resins were subsequently reacted with various arylboronic acids under Suzuki conditions. Acid cleavage yielded 6-arylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones with high chemical purity.
