Lithium Hydroxide → 1-(Pyridazin-3-yl)cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium hydroxide (196.4 mg, 4.68 mmol) was added to a solution of ethyl 1-(pyridazin-3-yl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (300 mg, 156 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran and water (1:1, 10 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and concentrated. The resulting residue was dissolved in water and the pH was adjusted to 2 using 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford the title compound (160 mg) which was used as is without further purification. MS (ES+APCI) (M−H) 163.0; LCMS retention time: 2.713 minutes (Method X1)
