tert-Butylhydrazine monohydrochloride → 6-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-2-t-butylpyridazinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chlorobenzoylpropionic acid (4.24 g) in n-butanol (150 ml) was added anhydrous sodium acetate (1.54 g) and t-butylhydrazine hydrochloride (2.75 g) portionwise at room temperature. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 9 hours distilling off 65 ml of n-butanol during that time. The resulting mixture was cooled and poured into water (500 ml) and extracted with methylene chloride (3×150 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with 2% aqueous sodium hydroxide (3×100 ml), water (2×100 ml), 2% aqueous hydrochloric acid (3×100 ml), and water (1×100 ml), dried and evaporated under vacuum yielding 1.71 g of the expected product.
