Abstract

As a part of some exploratory work in the field of pyridazine chemistry we considered it desirable to study a series of 2-(3-pyridazonyl)-acetic acids and their derivatives, a description of the preparation of which forms the subject of the present paper. 6-Methyl-3- pyridazone (I) underwent ready alkylation on the nitrogen with ethyl bromoacetate in the presence of sodium ethoxide; the resultant ester (11) was hydrolyzed to the acid 111, as ...
