Ammonium Hydroxide → 3-(5-tert-Butylpyridazin-3-yl)-4-hydroxy-1-methylimidazolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.0 g (0.00702 mole) of 3-[6-chloro-5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-pyridazinyl]-4-hydroxy-1-methyl-2-imidazolidinone, 2.0 ml of concentrated ammonium hydroxide, 300 milligrams (mg) of 10% palladium on carbon, and 100 ml of 2B ethanol was placed on a Parr shaker apparatus at 50 pounds of hydrogen. After one hour, when the consumption of hydrogen exceeded the theoretical amount, the mixture was filtered and concentrated, giving 2.15 g of a white solid, which was partitioned between 400 ml of methylene chloride and 40 ml of water. The layers were separated and the organic layer was dried with magnesium sulfate.
