Hydrazine Sulfate → 4-Bromopyridazine-3,6-diol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine sulphate salt (51 g) was suspended in water (250 ml), heated to reflux and bromomaleic anhydride (90.38 g) was added dropwise. The mixture was heated at reflux for 4 hours then cooled to room temperature. The reaction was repeated with 29 g hydrazine sulphate, 53 g bromomaleic anhydride and 130 ml water. The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and acetone and dried as a combined batch in vacuo to afford 4-bromo-1,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione as a white solid (113 g).
