Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A glass flask of the volume 1 l provided with an agitator, a thermometer, a condenser and a capillary was filled with 600 ml of icy acetic acid and 154.5 g (0.8 mole) of 3-nitrophthalic acid anhydride, thereafter it was heated to the temperature of 110° C. and gradually 44.1 g (0.88 mole) of hydrazine hydrate was added. Next the reaction mixture was kept at the state of boiling for 30 minutes thereafter it was cooled to the temperature of 80° C., the crystals of 5-nitro-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione were filtered, the sediment was washed on a filter with 50 ml of acetic acid and two times with 40 ml of distilled water. The total amount of 5-nitro-2,3-dihydrophthalazine-1,4-dione was 228.7 g, the yield was 92%.
