Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(6-Chloro-3-pyridazinyl)phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chloro-6-(2-acetoxyphenyl)pyridazine (23.1 g), aqueous sodium hydroxide (2N, 56 ml) and ethanol (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was diluted with an equal volume of water, adjusted to pH 2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and was filtered to give 3-chloro-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)pyridazine (18.7 g) m.p. 187.5°-188.5°. A sample recrystallised from ethanol had m.p. 187.5°-188.5°.
