Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 6-(Pyridin-2-yl)pyridazin-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-hydroxy-4-oxo-4-pyridin-2-ylbutyric acid ethyl ester (2.910 g, 13.000 mmol) in 20 mL of 1-buanol was treated with 0.65 mL (1:1 ratio) of hydrazine hydrate, and the mixture was refluxed overnight. The solvents were evaporated to dryness to give 2.000 g (11.500 mmol) of 6-pyridin-2-yl-2H-pyridazin-3-one as a dark solid, which was used in the next step without further purification.
