Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-amino-5-chloro-benzoic acid (5.0 g, 0.029 mol), trimethyl orthoformate (9.5 mL, 0.087 mol) and sodium azide (5.6 g, 0.087 mol) in glacial acetic acid (105 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Filtration and concentration from toluene gave 5-chloro-2-(1H-tetraazol-1-yl)benzoic acid (4.0 g, 62%); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): δ 9.47 (s, 1H), 8.16 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 7.83 (dd, J=2.5, 8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H).
