Pseudomonas putida is attracted to at least two groups of aromatic acids: a benzoate group and a benzoylformate group. Members of the benzoate group of chemoattractants stimulated the methylation of a P. putida polypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of 60,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. This polypeptide is presumed to be a methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein for severa...

In the title mononuclear complex, [Ni(C(8)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)(H(2)O)], the Ni(II) atom is in a distorted octa-hedral arrangement, coordinated by three carboxylate O atoms from one bidentate 4-methyl-benzoate ligand and one monodentate 4-methyl-benzoate ligand, two N atoms from pyridine ligands, axially positioned, and a water mol-ecule. The equatorially positioned water mol-ecule and unc...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C15H12ClNO3, the chloro-benzamide and benzoate units are almost co-planar, with a dihedral angle between the six-membered rings of 2.99 (10)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, each mol-ecule is linked to a symmetry-equivalent counterpart across a twofold rotation axis by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming dimers. T...

In the title compound, C22H32O4, the atoms of the methyl ester group and the alk-oxy O atoms are all coplanar with the central aromatic ring, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.008 Å. Bonds to the methyl-ene and cyclo-hexyl groups are also very close to this plane, so that the mol-ecule is essentially flat, apart from the cyclo-hexyl groups. The mean planes through the cyclo-hexyl groups are tilted ...

The title compound, C(15)H(15)NO(4)S, was prepared by simple condensation of methyl 2-amino-benzoate and 4-methyl-benzene-sulfonyl chloride. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 84.36 (6)°. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-action involving the carbonyl group as acceptor, generating an S(6) graph-set motif.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(11)H(13)ClO(3), inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into zigzag chains along the c axis.
