“…The target derivatives 8a–f and 9a–f were prepared as outlined in Scheme . First, the reaction of different acetophenones 1a–f with glyoxylic acid was followed by treatment with hydrazine hydrate to afford 3-pyridazinone analogues 2a–f . − Moreover, reflux of 2a–f in phosphorous oxychloride resulted in 3-chloropyridazine analogues 3a–f that were reacted with thiourea in absolute ethanol to obtain 4a–f . , The one-pot Gewald reaction of three components, cyclic ketone (cyclopentanone 5a or cyclohexanone 5b ), malononitrile, and elemental sulfur, was used, using morpholine as a basic catalyst, to synthesize the predicted amines, 2-amino-3-cyanothiophene derivatives ( 6a and 6b ), then followed by the reaction of 6a and 6b with chloroacetylchloride to give the chloroacetamide derivatives 7a–b . , Targets 8a – f and 9a–f were prepared by the reaction of 4a–f with the appropriate chloroacetamide derivatives 7a–b in absolute ethanol in the presence of freshly prepared sodium ethoxide (Scheme ). All the final candidates 8a – f and 9a–f were characterized by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, mass, and elemental analyses.…”
