M. Rohr et al., CONVENIENT PREPARATION OF 3-METHOXYCARBONYLPY-RIDAZINES BY PALLADIUM-CATALYZED ALKOXYCARBONYLATION OF PYRIDAZINETRIFLATES, Heterocycles, 43(7), 1996, pp. 1459-1464
The methoxycarbonylation of several pyridazine-trifluoromethanesulphon
ates with CO and MeOH is catalyzed by Pd(OAc)(2) and 1,1'-bis(diphenyl
phosphino)ferrocene. This method constitutes a mild and efficient homo
logation of pyridazinones.
