Benzoic acid has been reported to inhibit the oxidation of succinic acid by muscle (l), the oxidation of butyric acid and crotonic acid by liver slices (2), and the oxidation of acetoacetic acid by kidney slices (3). It has also been reported to inhibit the oxygen uptake of liver and kidney slices, diaphragm, minced liver, kidney, and brain (4). In the present work it was found that benzoic aci...

We have investigated the Kodak Ektachem 400 Analyzer procedure for CO2 for interferences from benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid, and several compounds structurally similar to benzoic acid. Benzoic acid in plasma, at concentrations found in neonates intoxicated with benzyl alcohol, caused a large increase in the results for CO2, as did substantially above-normal concentrations of certain fatty acids ...

Treatment of 5,6-dimethoxy-2-(methylphenylcarbamoyl)-benzofuran-3carboxylic acid with PPA yielded 2,3-dimethoxy-7-methyl-7,12-dihydro-6H-[1]benzofuro-[2,3-c]-[1]-benzazepin-6,12-dione. The analogous 2-[(5,6-dimethoxybenzofuran-2-carbonyl)methylamino]benzoic acid was resistant to cyclization, whereas 2-[(6methoxybenzofuran-2-carbonyl)-amino]benzoic acid underwent cyclization to the corresponding...

Experimental crystal structures of mono and polyfluorinated benzoic acids correspond to high energy computed crystal structures of benzoic acid itself, thereby permitting access to its structural landscape.

Benzoic acid has been reported to inhibit the oxidation of succinic acid by muscle (l), the oxidation of butyric acid and crotonic acid by liver slices (2), and the oxidation of acetoacetic acid by kidney slices (3). It has also been reported to inhibit the oxygen uptake of liver and kidney slices, diaphragm, minced liver, kidney, and brain (4). In the present work it was found that benzoic aci...

In the present study, p-amino phenol (PAP) and p-amino benzoic acid (PABA) have been modified as lipids palmitoyl p-amino phenol (PPAP) and palmitoyl N p-amino benzoic acid (N-PPABA) by a simple amide formation reaction of the respective compounds with palmitoyl chloride. On screening PPAP and N-PPABA for pharmacological activity, PPAP (an analogue of paracetamol) has been found to exhibit pote...

The beginning of the 21st century has seen tremendous growth in the field of decarboxylative activation. Benzoic acid derivatives are now recognised as atom-economic alternatives to traditional cross-coupling partners, and they also benefit from being inexpensive, readily available and shelf-stable reagents. In this microreview we discuss recent developments in the coupling of benzoic acid deri...
