2-(4-Chloro-6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-nitrophenyl)-5-trifluoromethylpyridazin-3-one → 2-(2-Amino-4-chloro-6-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)-5-trifluoromethylpyridazin-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(4-chloro-6-fluoro-3-hydroxy-2-nitrophenyl)-5-trifluoromethylpyridazin-3-one (0.601 g) in acetic acid (6 ml) was added 0.38 g of iron powder at ambient temperature and stirred for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After removing the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluted with hexane-ethyl acetate (2:1) to give 0.515 g of the title compound.
