Abstract: This paper describes a modified method of preparation of a number of α-aryl-α- (pyridazin-3-yl)-acetonitriles via the C-arylation reaction of the corresponding carbanions of phenylacetonitriles using 3-chloropyridazine derivatives. KOH and DMSO were used in the deprotonation process, which made the reaction very simple and safe to perform. Nitriles were obtained in the hydrolysis reaction to the corresponding α-aryl-α-(pyridazin-3-yl)- ...
