Sodium Hydroxide → 6-Methyl-4-pyridazinecarboxylic acid hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-chloro-6-methyl-pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid (500 mg, 2.89 mmol) in MeOH (50 mL) was added NaOH (395 mg, 9.85 mmol) in pellets, followed by 150 mg of Pd/C (10%). The reaction mixture was put under a H2 atmosphere for 3 hours (atmospheric pressure). The reaction mixture was filtered on celite, acidified with aq. HCl (pH=6), and concentrated under vacuo. Column chromatography (SiO2, CH2Cl2/MeOH 7/3) yielded 6-methyl-pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid (120 mg, 29%) as a brown solid.
