Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 30 ml of ethylene glycol were added 20 g (0.01 mol) of 2-t-butyl-5-chloro-4-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone and 2.8 g (0.05 mol) of potassium hydroxide and the mixture was stirred at 130° C. for 4 hours. After allowing to cool, the mixture was poured into 200 ml of water and added with 20 ml of 6N hydrochloric acid. The precipitated crystals were gathered by filtration. After drying, the crystals were washed with 30 ml of hot isopropyl ether to obtain 1.7 g of 2-t-butyl-5-hydroxy-4-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone, m.p. 236.0°~239.0° C.
