Oxoisoaporphine alkaloids are conveniently prepared via direct ring metalation of alkoxy-substituted isoquinolines at C-1, followed by reaction with iodine. Subsequent Suzuki cross-coupling of the resulting 1-iodoisoquinolines to methyl 2-(isoquinolin-1-yl)benzoates and intramolecular acylation of the corresponding carboxylic acids with Eaton's reagent afforded five alkaloids of the oxoisoaporp...

-The hydrolysis of several ring substituted methyl benzoates was investigated in aqueous solution over a pH range of 3-10. Both the pH dependence (at pH > 5) and the variation of hydrolysis rates with ring substitution are consistent with a mechanism involving the addition of hydroxide ion to the ester carbonyl group. Extrapolation of the rate data to a pH and temperature that would be consiste...

The melt-phase synthesis of dioctyltin (IV) and triphenyltin (IV) benzoates were carried outusing stoichiometric amounts of benzoic acids and the corresponding organotin (IV) compounds.The reagents were ground together in a mortar and fed into a boiling glass tube. A cannula tubewas inserted into the boiling tube to discharge accumulated gaseous products. A syringe ensureda continuous flow of d...

In the dinuclear title complex, [Sn(2)(CH(3))(4)(C(7)H(3)F(2)O(2))(4)], the Sn(IV) atom is chelated by two 3,5-difluoro-benzoate (dfb) anions and coordinated by two methyl groups while an O atom from the adjacent dfb anion bridges the Sb atom with a longer Sb-O bond distance of 2.793 (4) Å. The complex mol-ecule has 2 symmetry and the Sn(IV) atom is in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal coordi...

In the title mol-ecule, C(18)H(15)NO(4), the benzoate ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 43.43 (6)° with respect to the planar [maximum deviation = 0.038 (2) Å] chromene ring. The crystal structure features R(2) (2)(12) centrosymetric dimers formed via C-H⋯O inter-actions and these dimeric aggregates are connected by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

In the title mol-ecule, C(22)H(15)NO(3), the configuration about the ethyl-enic double bond is Z configuration and it is approximately coplanar with the adjacent phenyl ring and benzoxazole ring system as indicated by the C(H)=C(O)-C(phen-yl)-C(phen-yl) and O(benzoxazole)-C-C(H)=C(O) torsion angles of 179.88 (15) and 5.7 (2)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the essentially planar (r.m...

In the title compound, C(7)H(11)N(2) (+)·C(7)H(5)O(2) (-), the 2-amino-4,6-dimethyl-pyridinium cation and the benzoate anion are linked by two N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R(2) (2)(8) ring motif. The H atoms in both the methyl groups are rotationally disordered, with fixed site occupancies of 0.50. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are stabilized by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bon...

The title compound, C(16)H(20)O(4), was obtained unintentionally as the byproduct of an attempted synthesis of methyl 3-(cyclo-propyl-meth-oxy)-4-hy-droxy-benzoate. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C(3)H(12)N(2) (2+)·2C(8)H(7)O(3) (-), contains two 4-meth-oxy-benzoate anions and one propane-1,2-diaminium cation. All the amino H atoms of the cation are involved in N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the carboxyl-ate O atoms of the anions.

Salicylate (SA, 2-hydroxybenzoate) is a phytohormone best known for its role as a critical mediator of local and systemic plant defense responses. In response to pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae, SA is synthesized and activates widespread gene expression. In gh3.12/pbs3 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, induced total SA accumulation is significantly compromised as is SA-dependent gene expr...
