The title methyl benzoate compound, C(12)H(11)Br(2)NO(4), consists of an ortho-substituted diacetyl-amino group and meta-substituted Br atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions.

The title compound, C(13)H(15)BrO(4), was synthesized from methyl 5-acetyl-2-hydroxy-benzoate. With the exception of the ester group and some H atoms, the molecule is planar, the average deviation from planarity being 0.086 (5) Å. The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the ester group is 41.6 (3)°. Adjacent mol-ecules are inter-connected by C-H⋯O bonds, generating a layered structure.

In the title salt, C6H9N2(+)·C7H4ClO2(-), the 3-chloro-benzoate anion shows a whole-mol-ecule disorder over two positions with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.505 (4):0.495 (4). In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric 2 + 2 aggregate with R2(2)(8) and R4(2)(8) ring motifs. The crystal structure also features a π-π stacking inter-actio...

In the structure of the title salt, C(6)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(7)H(6)NO(2) (-), the 4-amino-benzoate anions are linked to adjacent anions and 2-amino-4-methyl-pyridinium cations via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure. The crystal structure also shows a weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bond between adjacent anions. Within the 4-amino-benzoate anion, the carboxyl-ate group is ...

Using a new procedure developed in our laboratory for the preparation of thick polymethacrylate films bonded in fused silica capillaries, crosslinked polymeric stationary phases were synthesized in situ in 25-mm-i.d. capillaries. The effect of monomer and crosslinker concentrations on the resulting polymer film Ž . was studied by open tubular capillary electrokinetic chromatography OTCEC Ž . us...

Enantiomerically pure (S)-tributylstannyl[D1]methanol and (R)- and (S)-tributylstannyl[D1]methyl benzoates were Stille-coupled with bromobenzene and benzoyl chloride in 1,4-dioxane and toluene using [(Ph3P)4Pd] or [(Ph3P)2PdCl2] either alone or in combination with CuCN as cocatalyst at temperatures up to 80 °C. The products were found to be enantiomerically pure. (R)- and (S)-N-(tributylstannyl...

Carbon-oxygen single bonds are ubiquitous in natural products whereas efficient methods for their reductive defunctionalization are rare. In this work an environmentally benign protocol for the activation of carbon-oxygen single bonds of alcohols towards a reductive bond cleavage under visible light photocatalysis was developed. Alcohols were activated as 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-substituted be...

Bacterial community shifts in a soil microcosm spiked with 3-chlorobenzoate or 2,5-dichlorobenzoate were monitored. The V6-V8 variable regions of soil bacterial 16S rRNA and rDNA were amplified and separated by temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE) profiling. Culturing in the presence of 2.5 mM chlorinated benzoates suppressed 10 to 100 fold the total aerobic bacterial community but h...
