Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 6-[4-(3-Chloro-propoxy)-phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-2H-pyridazin-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 500 mL round bottom flask, 4-[4-(3-chloro-propoxy)-phenyl]-4-oxo-butyric acid ethyl ester (7.85 g, 26.3 mmol), and hydrazine monohydrate (2.55 mL, 52.7 mmol), in isopropanol (200 mL) was heated to reflux 14 h. The reaction was cooled and the solvent concentrated under vacuum. Purification with silica gel chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (95:5) produced 5.2 g (74%). MS m/z 267 (M+H).
