Phenethylamine → 6-{p-[3-(2-phenylethylamino)-propionylamino]-phenyl}-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

11.18 g (40 millimoles) of 6-[p-(3-chloropropionylamino)-phenyl]-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone in 250 ml of ethanol were initially taken and 26.5 g (220 millimoles) of 2-phenylethylamine were added dropwise, after which the mixture was refluxed for 6 hours. Insoluble material was filtered off, the solvent was stripped off and the mother liquor was then crystallized by adding acetone. The product was recrystallized twice from methanol to give 5.3 g of 6-{p-[3-(2-phenylethylamino)-propionylamino]-phenyl}-4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-pyridazinone.HCl of melting point 269°-270° C.
