Trifluoroacetic acid → 3-Methyl-6-[3-(amino)phenyl]-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.1 g. of 3-methyl-6-(m-nitrophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine (prepared as in Example 23), 60 ml. of trifluoroacetic acid and 0.9 g. of 10% palladium catalyst on carbon is shaken in a Parr hydrogenator under about 35 pounds of hydrogen pressure until hydrogen uptake is complete. The catalyst is filtered off and the reaction mixture is concentrated. The residue is dissolved in water and adjusted to pH 5 by addition of 5N NaOH. The insoluble material is filtered off and washed with water to obtain 6-(m-aminophenyl)-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]pyridazine, m.p. 193° C.
