Hydrochloric Acid → 4-Hydroxy-6-oxo-1-phenyl-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-hydroxy-6-oxo-1-phenyl-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylate (0.8 g, 3.24 mmol) was suspended in sodium hydroxide solution (20 ml of 2.0M) and heated at reflux for 1 hour. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, acidified with 2M hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 ml). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to yield 4-hydroxy-6-oxo-1-phenyl-1,6-dihydropyridazine-3-carboxylic acid as a yellow solid (0.6 g, 80%).
