G. Krajsovszky et al., New synthetic approach to pyridazino[4,5-b]indoles by Pd(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction, HETEROCYCLE, 55(6), 2001, pp. 1105-1111
5-Iodo-2-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-one readily underwent Suzuki coupling with p
rotected anilinoboronic acids to yield the corresponding arylpyridazinones
which proved to be suitable starting compounds to a ring closure - a 4 step
pathway - to pyridazino[4,5-b]indoles.
