Abstract A convenient approach to phenyl (3-pyridazinyl) ketone (6) and phenyl (3- pyridazinyl) methanol (7) is proposed. Reactions of the related diarylmethyl chloride 8 with various N-and S-nucleophiles were found to afford the expected amines 9a-c, 10a-c and thioethers 11a, b in satisfactory yields.
