The 5-nitrosalicylic acid is produced by using the combinational process of nitration and hydrolysis of o-chlorobenzoic acid. The nitration process yields the intermediate 2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid. The generation of nitration is 95.7% and that of hydrolysis is 98.3%. The final product which generates is 99.8% after proper recrystallization by ethanol solution. The solubility of this chemical is dependent on the concentration of nitric acid.
5-nitrosalicylic acid is an organic phenolic compound which is extensively utilized in forming slyvite, sodium salts and organic drug synthesis which act as intermediates. The chemical is checked and analyzed as per the International standard specifications which meet the customer requirements.
