KOH and DMSO were used inthe deprotonation process, which made the reaction very simple and safe to perform.Nitriles were obtained in the hydrolysis reaction to the corresponding ¦Á-aryl-¦Á-(pyridazin-3-yl)-acetamide derivatives, which were next subjected to cyclization to afford the finalproducts. A number of new derivatives of 7H,8H-pyrimido[1,6-b]pyridazin-6,8-dione weresynthesized in the cyclocondensation reaction of respective ¦Á-aryl-¦Á-(pyridazin-3-yl)-acetamides with diethyl carbonate in the presence of EtONa. The structure andcomposition of the new compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H- and 13C- NMR analysesand by elemental C, H and N analysis. %K ¦Á-Aryl-¦Á-(pyridazin-3-yl)-acetonitrile %K C-arylation %K ¦Á-aryl-¦Á-(pyridazin-3-yl)- acetamides %K 7H %K 8H-pyrimido[1 %K 6-b]pyridazin-6 %K 8-diones %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/12/12/2643
