The thermal reaction of Ru3(CO)12 with various carboxylic acids (benzoic, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic, ferrocenic, stearic, oleic, 4-(octadecyloxy)benzoic) in refluxing tetrahydrofuran, followed by addition of 5-(4-pyridyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (L), gives the dinuclear complexes Ru2(CO)4(OOCR)2L2 (1: R = –C6H5, 2: R = –CH2-p-C6H4OH, 3: R = –C5H4FeC5H5, 4: R = –(CH2)16CH3, 5: R = –(CH2)7CH@CH(C...

Esterification of cellulose with subs t i tu ted or unsubs t i tu ted benzoic acids in t he system of pyridine containing methanesulfonyl chloride at various reaction conditions was investigated. Cellulose could be readily acylated with 2-nitro-, 3-nitro-, 4-nitro-, and 4-azidobenzoic acids to form: 0-(2nitrobenzoyl)cellulose (DS = 3), 0-(3-nitrobenzoyl)celhilose (DS = 3), 0-(4-nitrobenzoyl)cel...

Benzoic acid has been reported to inhibit the oxidation of succinic acid by muscle (l), the oxidation of butyric acid and crotonic acid by liver slices (2), and the oxidation of acetoacetic acid by kidney slices (3). It has also been reported to inhibit the oxygen uptake of liver and kidney slices, diaphragm, minced liver, kidney, and brain (4). In the present work it was found that benzoic aci...

The decarboxylation of phthalic acids was studied with Bacillus sp. strain FO, a marine mixed culture ON-7, and Pseudomonas testosteroni. The mixed culture ON-7, when grown anaerobically on phthalate but incubated aerobically with chloramphenicol, quantitatively converted phthalic acid to benzoic acid. Substituted phthalic acids were also decarboxylated: 4,5-dihydroxyphthalic acid to protocatec...

The current study included qualitative diagnosis and quantitative estimation of some active compounds in two types weeds, namely wild mustard Hordeum sp. barley Brassica results showed that these plants contained several chemical were diagnosed as phenolic acids. Wild three compounds, namely: Galic acid, Resorsenol, Vanillin While four benzoic acid. also variation the concentration extracts wee...

In the presence of catalytic [{IrCp*Cl2 }2 ] and Ag2 CO3 , Li2 CO3 as the base, and acetone as the solvent, benzoic acids react with arenediazonium salts to give the corresponding diaryl-2-carboxylates under mild conditions. This C-H arylation process is generally applicable to diversely substituted substrates, ranging from extremely electron-rich to electron-poor derivatives. The carboxylate d...

The new 1,3,5-tri-substituted and hexa-substituted benzoic methyl esters 1, 3 and benzoic acids 2, 4 have been synthesized. Single-crystal structure determinations of 1 – 3 are reported, which show specific molecular conformations and packings in the crystal. In all structures, the conformation of the molecules deviates considerably from threefold and sixfold symmetry, respectively. Columnar pa...

1. Benzoic acid and p-nitrobenzoic acid were converted in the scorpion Palamnaeus into N(1)-benzoylagmatine and N(1)-p-nitrobenzoylagmatine. 2. Some benzoyl- and p-nitrobenzoyl-arginine were also formed and these compounds were probable precursors of the agmatine derivatives. 3. p-Nitrobenzoyl- and p-aminobenzoyl-arginine were formed in millipedes dosed with the aromatic acids. 4. Woodlice excr...
