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 mol-ecule, C(16)H(13)N(3)O(7), is slightly twisted, with the dihedral angle between the two benzene ring planes being 17.4 (1)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis.

A gene, badH, whose predicted product is a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family of enzymes, was recently discovered during studies of anaerobic benzoate degradation by the photoheterotrophic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Purified histidine-tagged BadH protein catalyzed the oxidation of 2-hydroxycyclohexanecarboxyl coenzyme A (2-hydroxychc-CoA) to 2-ketocyclohexanecar...

The dinuclear title compound, [Cd(2)(C(7)H(5)O(3))(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], is located on a crystallographic rotation twofold axis. The two Cd(II) ions are connected by two tridentate bridging 2-hydroxy-benzoate anions. Each Cd(II) ion is seven-coordinated by five O atoms from three 2-hydroxy-benzoate ligands and two N atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline. The 2-hydroxy-benzoate mol-ecules adopt two ki...

In the title nitroaryl benzoate derivative, C14H9NO5, the aromatic rings form a dihedral angle of 46.37 (8)°. The central ester moiety, -C-(C=O)-O-, is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.0283 Å) and forms a dihedral angle of 54.06 (9)° with the 4-formyl-2-nitro-phenyl ring and 7.99 (19)° with the benzoate ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are inter-twined by weak C-H⋯O ...

In the title compound, C20H13ClO3, the dihedral angles between the benzoate and the chloro-benzene and benzoyl rings are 68.82 (5) and 53.76 (6)°, respectively, while the dihedral angle between the benzoyl and benzoate rings is 81.17 (5)°. The eight atoms of the benzoyl residue are essentially planar with the exception of the O atom which lies 0.1860 (5) Å out of their mean plane (r.m.s. deviat...
