Hydroxybenzotriazole Monohydrate is one of the most effective suppressors of racemization in carbodiimide-mediated reactions.

1,2,3 Benzotriazole has an industrial use resulting in manufacture of another substance (use of intermediates).

HOBTM 12% is a White to Off white crystalline powder.HOBt is used to produce such activated esters. These esters are insoluble (like the N-hydroxysuccinimide esters) and react with amines at ambient temperature to give amides. HOBt is also used for the synthesis of amides from carboxylic acids aside from amino acids.
