Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-(5-chloro-3-methyl-benzofuran-2-sulfenyl)-pyridazine (1.6 mmol, 500 mg), conc. HCl (1 mL), and dioxane (5 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and evaporated to dryness. Water (10 mL) was added to the residue, and the resulting white precipitate was collected and crystallized from ethanol to obtain the desired product, 6-(5-chloro-3-methyl-benzofuran-2-sulfenyl)-2-H-pyridazin-3-one (73%, 113 mg); mp >240° C.
