Acides benzoïques

2-(Boc-aminomethyl)benzoic acid is a versatile building block with a wide range of applications in the field of organic chemistry. It has been shown to be useful as a reagent in the synthesis of complex compounds and fine chemicals, as well as a reaction component for the preparation of pharmaceuticals. 2-(Boc-aminomethyl)benzoic acid can also be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of speciality chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides.

4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid is a chemical compound that is used as an inhibitor of DNA synthesis. It prevents the formation of hydrogen bonds between nucleotides in DNA, which prevents the synthesis of new DNA strands. 4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of human breast cancer cells by reactivating the tumor suppressor genes p21 and Rb1, which are responsible for regulating cell cycle progression. This compound also inhibits the production of hydrogen chloride (HCl) in reaction solutions containing sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).

2-Acetylbenzoic acid is a functional molecule that contains an acetyl group. It can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules and has been shown to induce apoptosis in cells. The reaction products of 2-acetylbenzoic acid are malonic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, and 2-benzoylbenzoic acid. These three compounds are made by the addition of hydrogen or hydroxide to the molecule 2-acetylbenzoic acid. The molecule has two functional groups: a carbonyl group and an acetyl group. The chemical structure of this molecule can be seen in the figure below.

2-Iodobenzoic acid is a synthetic compound that is used in the treatment of wastewater. It is produced by the reaction of benzoate and nitrite in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer from the 2-iodobenzoic acid to benzoate is a reversible reaction. This process can be catalyzed by palladium, which has been shown to be effective in coupling 2-iodobenzoic acid with other compounds to produce cyclic peptides. The use of 2-iodobenzoic acid as a contraceptive has been investigated for its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, which may lead to increased levels of acetylcholine and inhibition of muscle contractions.

4-Formylbenzoic acid is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH2=C(O)CH=CHCO2H. It is a white solid that is soluble in water and has a strong, unpleasant odor. 4-Formylbenzoic acid has been shown to have affinity for binding to odorous molecules such as sulfur compounds, amines, and mercaptans. The binding of these molecules to the 4-formylbenzoic acid leads to a decrease in their odor concentration. This process can be done using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy or optical sensors. The oxidation of 4-formylbenzoic acid by trifluoroacetic acid produces 2-formylphenol and formaldehyde, which are themselves volatile compounds with an unpleasant odor. These reactions may be used as wastewater treatment methods. Langmuir adsorption isotherm may be used as an analytical method for measuring the concentration of 4-formylbenzoic acid

4-Vinylbenzoic acid is a water-insoluble polymer that has been shown to have bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties. 4-Vinylbenzoic acid inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the enzyme diphenolase, which is involved in the synthesis of cell wall precursors. This polymer also binds to cationic surfactants and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The mechanism of inhibition of fungal growth is not known, but it may be due to hydrogen bonding interactions with the cell membrane.
4-Vinylbenzoic acid has been shown to be effective against human serum, although it does not inhibit bacterial growth in this medium.
