Ethanol → Ethyl Pyridazine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid (1.0 g, 8.1 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added concentrated H2SO4 (4.2 mL) and then heated at reflux for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, concentrated in vacuo and basified with saturated Na2CO3. After filtration, the aqueous was extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give the title product as a dark yellow oil (970 mg, 79%).
