Hydrazine Sulfate → 4,5-Dichloro-3-hydroxypyridazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine sulfate (305.7 g, 2.35 mol) was added to a solution of 3,4-dichloro-5-hydroxy-5H-furan-2-one (419 g, 2.48 mol) and sodium acetate (212 g, 2.58 mol) in water (600 mL). The mixture was stirred at reflux for 4 h. After filtration and evaporation, the residual solid was recrystallized from ethanol to afford 4,5-dichloropyridazin-3(2H)-one (216 g, 67%) as an off-white solid. LC-MS 165 [M+H+].
