Abstract

A straightforward synthesis of pyrimido[4,5-d]pyridazines from pyrimidines and tetrazines under basic conditions is reported. Deprotonated, substituted 5-halopyrimidines readily react with variously substituted tetrazines in a highly regioselective manner via a complex reaction pathway, which was supported by DFT calculations. This mechanism leads to the empirically observed regioisomers without going through the conceivable hetaryne intermediate. These results on 5-halopyrimidines led to development of the methodology for preparation of opposite regioisomers based on 6-halopyrimidines.
