D-Lactic Acid → HCID 57812634, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chloro-6-hydrazinopyridazine (1.44 g, 9.96 mmol), (R)-2-hydroxypropanoic acid (0.90 g, 10 mmol, i.e. D-lactic acid) and p-TsOH.H2O (2.37 g, 12.4 mmol) in toluene was refluxed overnight. Some oil was formed at the bottom of the flask. LC-MS of this oil showed the desired product was formed. Toluene was poured off, and the oil residue was suspended in water (10 mL), then basified with 3 N aq. NaOH to pH=10. This aqueous solution was extracted with EtOAc (3×30 mL), and the combined organic phases were washed with brine (20 mL), and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation under reduced pressure afforded the title compound as an off-white solid. MS (ES+): 199/201 (3/1) [MH+]. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ=1.88 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 3H), 2.97 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 1H, —OH), 5.51 (m, 1H), 7.15 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H).
