Abstract: | A convenient approach to phenyl (3-pyridazinyl) ketone ( 6 ) and phenyl(3-pyridazinyl)methanol ( 7 ) is proposed. Reactions of the related diarylmethyl chloride 8 with various N- and S-nucleophiles were found to afford the expected amines 9a-c, 10a-c and thioethers 11a,b in satisfactory yields. |
