Sodium Hydroxide → 5,6-Dihydro-1,5-dioxo-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]benzotriazine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3 g of 5,6-dihydro-1,5-dioxo-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]benzotriazine-2-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester of hot ethanol, there is added 10 ml of 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide and the mixture refluxed for 2 hours. The mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue dissolved in water. The solution is filtered and neutralized with dilute hydrochloric acid. The precipitated 5,6-dihydro-1,5-dioxo-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a][1,2,4]benzotriazine-2-carboxylic acid is filtered and washed with a small amount of cold water. The product is crystallized from ethanol.
