Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 20309483, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 3-[5-acetamido-2-(3-t-butylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)benzoyl]propionate (0.21 g) and hydrazine hydrate (0.12 ml) in glacial acetic acid (5 ml) was heated under reflux for 16 hours. Evaporation of the reaction mixture under reduced pressure gave a glassy residue to which was added sodium hydroxide solution (2N, 10 ml). The resulting solution was extracted well with chloroform, the combined organic phases washed with water, dried and evaporated to give a white brittle residue which was recrystallised from isopropanol/ether to give 6-[5-acetamido-2-(3-t-butylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone as a white solid (0.16 g, 80% m.p. 102°-109°C; M+ 376, M 376).
