Abstract

Chlorophthalazines were efficiently metalated using tmpZnCl˙LiCl under microwave irradiation. This provided novel substituted phthalazine derivatives after subsequent trapping of the resulting organometallic reagents with various electrophiles. Moreover, Negishi cross-coupling reactions have been performed affording new polyfunctionalized phthalazine scaffolds in very good yields.

Key words

chlorophthalazine derivatives - metalation - microwave irradiation - Negishi cross-coupling - zinc

Performing this reaction at lower temperatures did not avoid the ring opening of 1,6-dichlorophthalazine 1 giving the phthalonitrile 7 as the major product.
