A one-pot process for the preparation of 6-phenyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone from acetophenone and glyoxylic acid has been investigated and shown to have wide utility in the preparation of 6- and 5,6-substituted 3(2H)-pyridazinones. Limitations to the process encountered with 2′-hydroxyacetophenone and with basic heteroaromatic ketones have been overcome, and the processes described offer the rapid and efficient synthesis of many 6-substituted pyridazinones from readily available ketones.
