Product Information

• Name: 4-Ethylbenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Ethylbenzoic acid is a fatty acid that can be found in human and animal cells. It is an important intermediate for the synthesis of phenolic acids and it has been shown to have physiological effects on yeast. 4-Ethylbenzoic acid binds to bacterial enzymes, such as acylation reactions, which are involved in energy production. This binding prevents the enzyme from completing its reaction and leads to a decrease in energy production. Acylation reactions are also used by bacteria to produce biofilms, which can lead to chronic infections. The redox potential of 4-ethylbenzoic acid makes it suitable for wastewater treatment because it reacts with hydroxyl ions and reduces their concentration, causing wastewater to become less toxic. The second order rate constant of 4-ethylbenzoic acid was measured using magnetic resonance spectroscopy and structural analysis techniques.
