Pyridazinone (I) was converted to 3,4,5-trichloropyridazine (VIII) on treatment with POCl3. Nucleophylic substitution in (II) with 3-aminopropanol (III) gave, after crystallization, the desired isomer (IV). Hydrolysis of the 3-chloro group of (IV) was carried out with AcOH and AcONa, resulting in the N,O-diacetyl derivative (V). Subsequent reaction of (V) with aqueous HBr provided bromide (VI), which was then treated with N-methyl homoveratrylamine (VII) to furnish the target compound (VIII). This compound was finally isolated as the fumarate salt on treatment with fumaric acid in EtOH (1).
