Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 178507500, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution was prepared from 19 g of 2-nitro-N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzamide in 100 ml of aqueous 1 N sodium hydroxide and 100 ml of ethanol. A 0.5-gram quantity of 5% Pd/C catalyst was added and the mixture was hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus at 1520 mm Hg pressure until uptake of hydrogen stopped. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was treated with aqueous 1 N hydrochloric acid. The white solid which formed was separated by filtration and dried to give 2-amino-N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)benzamide melting at about 253°-254° C.
