Reaction Steps

3-(4'-Chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-6-chloropyridazine (12 g, 0.04978 mol) was introduced into cooled, highly-concentrated nitric acid in the course of 15 minutes at a temperature of 0°-5° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 more minutes at 0° C., and the reaction mixture was then stirred into ice-water. The resulting yellow solid product was isolated, washed with water and reprecipitated using NH4OH/HCl. After drying, 11 g, 0.0385 mol, of 3-(3'-nitro-4'-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-6-chloropyridazine of m.p. 204°-209° C. were obtained, which corresponds to a crude yield of 77.25%. According to TLC analysis (SiO2 /10% ethanol/chloroform), the sample proves to be largely uniform. Recrystallized from ethanol, the compound melts at 208°-211° C.
