Pyridazines are of chemical and biological interest. They have been reported to be anticonvulsive agents [1], [2]. Furthermore, BELLASIO et al. have described the antihypertensive effects of hydrazinopyridazine compounds [3]. In continuation of this line of investigation, we have synthesized compound (I); it will be subjected to further pharmacological investigations, especially tests of its anticancer activity.

To ( 0.96 g, 3 mmol) of ethyl [4-(2-chlorobenzyl)-3-methyl-6-oxopyridazin-1(6H)-yl)] acetate (I), was added 10 ml of hydrazine hydrate. The mixture was placed in a pyrex tube which was then introduced into a Maxidigest MX 350 Prolabo microwave[4] monomode reactor and refluxed for 10 min on 60 w as irradiation power. After cooling, the product precipitates, and then is recristallised in absolute ethanol, yield : 80 % of (II) solid.
