Acetic Anhydride → HCID 20309436, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone (20 g), acetic anhydride (60 ml) and pyridine (10 drops) was heated and stirred on a steam-bath for 13/4 hours. The mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residual oil was treated with water (100 ml) and methanol (10 ml) and was allowed to crystallise to give 6-(2-acetoxyphenyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone (22.7 g) m.p. 181°-183.5°. A sample recrystallised from 50% aqueous ethanol had m.p. 182.5°-184.5°.
