Abstract

4-Hydroxymethyl-1(2H)-phthalazinone (2) was preferably prepared by reduction of 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1(2H)-phthalazinone with NaBH4 in EtOH in good yield. The synthetic method was applicable for the preparation of 7-ethoxycarbonyl-4-hydroxymethyl-1(2H)-phthalazinone and its 2-phenyl derivative, where the regioselective reduction of the ester at the position 4 was possible, leaving the ester at the position 7 intact. The Grignard reaction of 4-ethoxycarbonyl-1(2H)-phthalazinone was also described.
