A new synthetic route has been developed for minaprine.The synthesis is based upon two reactions recently studied on pyridazine: metalation and cross coupling with transition metals.Some different routes have been tested starting from 3,6-dichloropyridazine.The best results were obtained by coupling phenylboronic acid with 3-chloro-6-methoxypyridazine then by metalating 3-methoxy-6-phenylpyridazine and reacting the lithio derivatives with methyl iodide. 3-Methoxy-4-methyl-6-phenylpyridazine was obtained.After hydrolysis of the ether moiety, chlorination and substitution by the amine, minaprine was obtained with an overall yield of 36percent.Keywords - pyridazine / metalation / cross-coupling
