Abstract

Treatment of 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates with aliphatic or aromatic alcohols in the presence of potassium tert-butoxide in toluene at room temperature provides carbonates in good yields. Alkyl and aryl 4,5-dichloro-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-carboxylates are therefore efficient, stable, and ecofriendly alternatives to chloroformates.
