Anaerobic sewage sludge was used to enrich a methanogenic m-cresol-degrading consortium. 6-Fluoro-3-methylphenol was synthesized and added to subcultures of the consortium with m-cresol. This caused the accumulation of 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid. In a separate experiment, the addition of 3-fluorobenzoic acid caused the transient accumulation of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid. Inhibition with bromoet...

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C20H18N2O5S·C3H7NO, represents an essentially planar 5-benzyl-idene-thia-zolidine moiety (r.m.s. deviation from planarity without ring substituents = 0.095 Å) to which the 4-amino-benzoic acid fragment is inclined at 76.23 (1)°. In the crystal, the benzoic acid mol-ecules are arranged in layers parallel to [001] which are built up from inversion d...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(13)H(10)INO(4)S·H(2)O, the coordination around the S atom is distorted tetra-hedral. The aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 74.18 (17)°. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in the formation of non-planar five- and six-membered rings, which adopt envelope and twist conformations, respectively. In the crystal structure, inter-molec...

In the crystal of the title compound, C(9)H(7)FO(4), classical carboxylate inversion dimers are linked by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The packing is consolidated by C-H⋯F and C-H⋯O interactions. The benzene ring and the methoxycarbonyl group are nearly coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 1.5 (3)° between them, whereas the carboxyl group has a dihedral angle of 20.2 (4)° with respect to the be...

The title compound, [Ge(CH3)3(C7H5O2)], was obtained as a by-product in the synthesis of the corresponding aldehyde. Two slightly different mol-ecules are present in the asymmetric unit. In both mol-ecules, the geometry of the aromatic ring plane is distorted by varying intensities. Additionally, the Ge atoms deviate from the mean aromatic ring planes. Whereas the distance of the Ge atom to the...

In the title compound, C(15)H(12)O(3)·H(2)O, the two rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 69.12 (3)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional framework.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(16)H(15)NO(3), inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains parallel to the b axis and pairs of inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between inversion-related carb-oxy-lic acid groups link the mol-ecules into dimers. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 82.4 (2)°.
