“…The utility of the methodology is extended toward the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,4- d ]pyridazine 3e , 3i , and 3j (Scheme ). It may be noted that pyrrolo[3,4- d ]pyridazines are considered as high-affinity nonamino acid ligands for α2δ subunit of voltage gated calcium channels, and aspartic protease endothiapepsin (EP) inhibition . Thus, the reaction of (4-benzoyl-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,2-diphenyl-1 H -pyrrol-3-yl)(4-chlorphenyl)methanone ( 2e ), 2i , and 2j with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol at 80 °C resulted in 1,5-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-4,6,7-triphenyl-6 H -pyrrolo[3,4- d ]pyridazine ( 3e ), 3i , and 3j in 64, 71, and 76% yields, respectively.…”
