Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 5-hydroxy-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5H-furan-2-one (2.06 g, 10 mmol) in 30 mL of ethanol was stirred as methylhydrazine (0.78 mL, 1.5 eq) was added dropwise. The reaction was heated to reflux at 85° C. for 2 h, then the solvent was reduced at reduced pressure to give a solid, which was collected and washed with cold EtOH to give 1.0 g (46%) of 5-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-2-methyl-2H-pyridazin-3-one: MS m/z 217 (M+H).
