Ammonia → 6-Chloropyridazine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Excess gaseous ammonia was added to an ice bath cooled solution of n-butyl 6-chloropyridazine-3-carboxylate (40 g) in methanol (280 ml). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours and the resulting residue filtered off, washed with methanol (20 ml) and dried to give 6-chloropyridazine-3-carboxamide (28.05 g, 95.5% yield), mpt. 243-5° C.
