Hydrazine → 6-(Propan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Methyl-4-oxohexanoic acid (3.60 g, 25.0 mmol) and anhydrous hydrazine (0.80 g, 26.0 mmol) were heated for 3 hours in ethanol (36.0 ml) under stirring. After the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, hexane was added to the residues to precipitate crystals, and the crystals were collected by filtration to give 4,5-dihydro-6-isopropyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone as crystals. The yield was 3.10 g.
