Abstract

The 1,2,4-triazole nucleus is an important five-membered heterocyclic scaffold, which is found large number of marketed drugs. Pyridazine ring has been known to be present in several natural products and drugs. A number of synthetic methods have been developed for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine derivatives which involve the oxidation of hydrazones with various reagents such as lead tetraacetate, bromine, nitrobenzene, copper dichloride, mixture of Me₄NBr and oxon etc. Unfortunately, most of these methods suffer from various disadvantages such as hazardous materials, poor yield and longer reaction time at higher reaction temperature. Utility of iodobenzene diacetate (IBD) in oxidative transformation is a valuable strategy for greener synthesis because of its easy availability, mild reaction condition and ease of handling. In view of these observations, solvent-free protocol synthesis was developed in the present study for the synthesis of 6-chloro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazines using iodobenzene diacetate (IBD) as an eco-friendly agent. Initially, a mixture of 3,6-dichloropyridazine 1 was refluxed with 1 equivalents of hydrazine hydrate in tert-butylalcohol which furnished 6-chloro-3-hydrazinopyridazine 2 after four hour. Further, 1 moles of benzaldehyde was homogenized with 1 equivalent of 2 the reaction mixture was grinded in pestle mortar at room temperature. The reaction was regularly monitored at short intervals by thin layer chromatography (tlc) which indicated the completion of reaction in 20 minutes and a new spot appeared. Then 1.1 equivalents of IBD was added in situ and the reaction mixture was grinded for another 1 hr. Formation of 3 was confirmed on the basis of tlc and spectral data. ¹H NMR spectra of compounds 3 displayed pair of doublets for H-4 and H-5 of pyridazine ring at 7.1-8.4  ppm and 7.0-8.1  ppm, respectively with coupling constant ³J= ~ 9.2 Hz.
