Examples of the method of the decomposition are hydrolysis and hydrogenation.
A hydrolysis reaction is usually performed in the presence of a solvent.
Examples of the solvent which can be used are water; an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as benzene, chlorobenzene, toluene, and xylene; a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent such as dichloromethane and chloroform; a hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane and heptane; an alcohol solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol and ethylene glycol; an ether solvent such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; a nitrile solvent such as acetonitrile and propionitrile; a sulfoxide solvent such as dimethylsulfoxide; an amide solvent such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, and N-methylpyrrolidone; or a mixture thereof; among of them, water, an alcohol solvent, an ether solvent and a mixture thereof are preferable.
The amount of solvent is not limited, but usually 100 or less parts by weight to 1 part by weight of Compound (19) for an economic reason.
The reaction may be performed in the presence of an acid.
Examples of the acid are an organic acid such as methanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and acetic acid; and an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.
The amount of the acid may be usually a catalytic amount, and 0.01 to 1 mole to 1 mole of Compound (19).
This reaction may be performed in the presence of a hydroxylamine; or a hydrochloride, a sulfate or a carbonate thereof.
The reaction temperature is usually not less than melting point of a solvent and not more than boiling point of the solvent, preferably 0° C. to 150° C.
The reaction time is, though it may be varied depending on the reaction temperature, the type and amount of acid, the type and amount of solvent, and the like, usually 0.1 to 100 hours, typically 0.1 to 24 hours.
In order to monitor the progress of the reaction, conventional analysis techniques such as thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and NMR can be used.
The reaction mixture thus obtained usually contains Compound (12C) as a main product. Compound (12C) can be isolated by known procedures such as filtration, concentration, and recrystallization. The isolated Compound (12C) can be further purified by conventional techniques such as distillation, column chromatography, and recrystallization.
When at least one of R10 and R11 is a phenyl group, a hydrogenation reaction can be performed.
A hydrogenation reaction is usually performed in the presence of a solvent.
Examples of the solvent which can be used are water; an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as benzene, chlorobenzene, toluene, and xylene; a hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane and heptane; an alcohol solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol and ethylene glycol; an ether solvent such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; an ester solvent such as ethyl acetate; or a mixture thereof; among of them, water, an alcohol solvent, an ether solvent and a mixture thereof are preferable.
The amount of solvent is not limited, but usually 100 or less parts by weight to 1 part by weight of Compound (19) for an economic reason.
The reaction may be usually performed in the presence of a catalyst.
Examples of the catalyst are those which metal such as palladium, platinum and rhodium is supported on activated carbon.
The rate of metal to activated carbon is not limited, but usually 0.1 to 10% by weight to 100% by weight activated carbon.
The amount of catalyst may be catalytic amount, and 0.001 to 0.1 part by weight to 1 part by weight of compound (19).
The reaction pressure is usually not less than atmospheric pressure and not more than 10 atm.
The reaction temperature is usually not less than melting point of a solvent and not more than boiling point of the solvent, preferably 0° C. to 80° C.
The reaction time is, though it may be varied depending on the reaction temperature, the type and amount of catalyst, the type and amount of solvent, and the like, usually 0.1 to 100 hours, typically 0.1 to 24 hours.
In order to monitor the progress of the reaction, conventional analysis techniques such as thin layer chromatography, gas chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and NMR can be used.
The reaction mixture thus obtained usually contains Compound (12C) as a main product. Compound (12C) can be isolated by known procedures such as filtration, concentration, and recrystallization. The isolated Compound (12C) can be further purified by conventional techniques such as distillation, column chromatography, and recrystallization.

EXAMPLES
Hereinafter, the present invention will be illustrated by following Examples in more detail, but not limited thereto.
In the Examples, room temperature means usually 10 to 30° C. In column chromatography, silica gel 60 (spheral, neutral, particle size: 63-210 nm, from KANTO CHEMICAL CO., INC.) was used. When a mixed solvent is used as a developing solvent, the mixture ratio by volume of each solvent is shown in parentheses. 1H NMR means proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and was measured with JEOL AL-400 (400 Hz) type and Bruker ADBANCE400 (400 Hz) type spectrometer using tetramethylsilan as an internal standard, and chemical shift (δ) was shown by ppm.
The abbreviations used in the Examples mean as follows:
CDCl3: chloroform-d, DMSO: dimethylsulfoxide, s: singlet, d: doublet, t: triplet, q: quartet, m: multiplet, br.: broad, J: coupling constant, Me: methyl group, Et: ethyl group, n-Pr: n-propyl group, i-Pr: isopropyl group, c-Pr: cyclopropyl group, and n-Bu: n-butyl group.
Example 1

Then, the organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 40.8 mg of 4-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-5-hydroxy-2,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-pyridazinone ((1-4)-(1)-39).
Example 3
Production of 5-(n-butoxy)-4-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-pyridazinone (a compound of the formula (1-5) and No. (1)-39 in Table 1)




To a test tube (outside diameter: 21 mm φ×overall length: 160 mm), 4-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-5-methylsulfonyl-2,3-dihydropyridazin-3-one ((2-34)-(1)-39) (0.21 g), 1-butanol1 (4 ml), water (0.1 ml), and sodium hydroxide (0.20 g) were added under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and stirred at 120° C. for 8 hours. Then, to the reaction mixture was added water at room temperature, and extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether. The resulting organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 0.74 g of 5-(n-butoxy)-4-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-pyridazinone ((1-5)-(1)-39).
1H NMR (CDCl3)

Example 4
Production of 5-ethoxy-4-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-pyridazinone (a compound of the formula (1-6) and No. (1)-39 in Table 1)




To a test tube (outside diameter: 21 mm φ×overall length: 160 mm), 4-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-5-methylsulfonyl-2,3-dihydropyridazin-3-one ((2-34)-(1)-39) (52.2 mg), ethanol (674.3 mg), and sodium ethoxide (121.8 mg) were added under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature and stirred for 4 hours at 70° C. To the reaction mixture was added water (4 ml) at room temperature, and extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 83.6 mg of 5-ethoxy-4-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-3-pyridazinone ((1-6)-(1)-39).
