Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4,5-diamino-2-methylbenzotriazole (2.5 g, 15.3 mmol) and oxalic acid dihydrate (2.5 g, 19.8 mmol) in 80 ml of 4M hydrochloric acid was refluxed on an oil bath for 1 h. The cooled mixture was filtered, and the precipitate was washed with water and ethanol. Recrystallization from ethanol with decolourising charcoal afforded 1.0 g (30%) of the title compound; m.p. >300° C.; IR (KBr): 3500- 2200, 1690 cm-1 ; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): 4.48 (s, 3H, CH3), 7.25 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H, ArH), 7.60 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H, ArH), 12.03 (broad s, 1H, OH), 12.47 (broad s, 1H, OH).
