Hydrochloric Acid → 4,6-Dichloro-3-pyridazinecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4,6-dichloro-pyridazine-3-carboxylate (6.01 g, 29.03 mmol, WO 2004/031174) in THF (29 ml) at 0° C. is added 29 ml of aqueous 1.0 M LiOH with stirring. The resulted mixture is stirred continuously at 0° C. for 40 min and monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture is diluted with water, and acidified to pH 1-2 with aqueous 1.0 M HCl. The crude product is suspended between the organic and aqueous layers. After filtration and washed with water and hexane, and dried under vacuum, the product is obtained.
