Procedure

A solution of ethylene glycol (55 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) was treated at around 0° C. (ice bath cooling) with sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 5.9 g) over 40 minutes. After the addition was complete, 3,4,6-trichloropyridazine (27 g) containing isomers of bromo-dichloropyridazine as impurity was added portionwise and washed in with more dry THF (50 ml) and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 hour and then at room temperature overnight. The mixture was concentrated (to ⅓ volume) then diluted with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with chloroform (5×) and ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated and the solids filtered off and washed with CHCl3 (×3) and dried in a vacuum oven overnight at 40° C. affording a white solid (25.5 g, 83%), containing some bromo-derivative (10-15%).
