Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl Pyridazine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 250 mL round bottom flask, 1 mL concentrated HCl and 70 mL ethanol was added to pyridazine-4-carboxylic acid (3.78 g, 30.4 mmol). The mixture was refluxed overnight. The reaction was 80% complete based on HPLC. The reaction mixture was concentrated down. The residue was purified (silica gel, 2-10% MeOH/DCM) to give light yellow oil (1.8 g, 49%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD): δ 9.62 (s, 1H), 9.43 (d, 1H), 8.08 (d, 1H), 4.52 (dd, 2H), 1.43 (t, 3H).
