Benzyl mercaptan → 5-benzylsulfanyl-4-chloro-2-methylpyridazin-3-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

35.8 g (200 millimoles) of 4,5-dichloro-2-methylpyridazin-3(2H)-one are suspended in 300 ml of isopropanol and the suspension is colled to -20° C. A solution of 24.8 g (200 millimoles) of benzyl mercaptan and 20.2 g (200 millimoles) of triethylamine in 200 ml of isopropanol is added dropwise at this temperature, after which stirring is continued for 1 hour at -10° C. and overnight at room temperature. The resulting precipitate is filtered off under suction, washed with isopropanol and water and dried under reduced pressure to give 31.7 g (60%) of a product of melting point 102°-104° C.
