Procedure

The isodecyl ester of 4-carboxypyridazine was prepared using the general method of Example 17 from isodecanol and 4,5-dicarboxypyridazine. The product has a boiling range of 150°-160° C. at 0.4 mm of mercury pressure. The product was evaluated as an extractant for copper by the procedure of Example 1, and the results are listed in Table 1. The results show that this compound has inferior solubility to the corresponding isooctadecyl ester of Example 17.
