Ethyl Acetate → 2-(4,5-Dibromo-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl)acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-(4,5-dibromo-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl)acetate (6.01 g, 17.7 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (60 mL) was stirred with 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide (53.1 mL, 53.1 mmol) at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the reaction solution was mixed with ethyl acetate and extracted with 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide twice. The resulting aqueous layer was acidified to pH 1 with 1 M hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The resulting organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the desired product (5.30 g, 88% yield).
