Phthalazine, also called benzo-orthodiazine or benzopyridazine, is a heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C₈H₆N₂. It is isomeric with other naphthyridines including quinoxaline, cinnoline and quinazoline.

Synthesis

Phthalazine can be obtained by the condensation of ω-tetrabromorthoxylene with hydrazine, or by the reduction of chlorphthalazine with phosphorus and hydroiodic acid. ^[4]

Properties

It possesses basic properties and forms addition products with alkyl iodides. ^[4]

Reactions

Upon oxidation with alkaline potassium permanganate it yields pyridazine dicarboxylic acid. Zinc and hydrochloric acid decompose it with formation of orthoxylylene diamine. The keto-hydro derivative phthalazone (C₈H₆ON₂), is obtained by condensing hydrazine with orthophthalaldehydoacid^{[ citation needed ]}. On treatment with phosphorus oxychloride, it yields a chlorphthalazine, which with zinc and hydrochloric acid gives isoindole (C₈H₇N), and with tin and hydrochloric acid, phthalimidine (C₈H₇ON), the second nitrogen atom being eliminated as ammonia. ^[4]
