Referring to FIG. 1, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole-6-carboxylic acid is formed in two steps from 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid. In the first step, 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid and hydrazine monohydrate are heated at reflux in ethanol to yield a crude precipitate. In the second step, the crude precipitate is dissolved in water and acidified with HCl to pH 1 to yield 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, a peach colored precipitate. Confirmation of the compound can be conducted by NMR spectroscopy and high resolution mass spectroscopy (HRMS), as well as other detection methods determined by one of skill in the art.
