Abstract
Phthalazinone and pyridopyridazinone derivatives 3, 5, and 9 were prepared via reaction ofappropriate lactams 2 and 8 with 2-bromoethylphthalimide, N-tosylaziridine, and N,O-ditosyl derivatives of N-methylethanolamine in a two-step process in the presence of MeONa/MeOH or NaH/dimethylformamide (DMF). Starting compounds 2 and 8 were obtained by reaction of hydrazine hydrate with isoindolinones 1 or azaisoindolinones 6. Selected N-(2-phthalimidoethyl)-phthalazinones were converted into corresponding 2-[2-(methylamino) ethyl]- derivatives in satisfactory yields by treatment with hydrazine.
