Reaction Steps

3.1 21 ml of water are added to a solution of 3.10 g (15.0 mmol) of 3-chloro-6-phenoxypyridazine in 21 ml of formic acid, and the mixture is heated at 95° C. for 85 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled and brought to a pH of 6 using 23% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The precipitate formed is filtered off with suction, washed with water and dried in vacuo, giving 6-phenoxy-2H-pyridazin-3-one as colourless crystals; ESI 189.
