Benzoic acid is cheap and readily available, so the laboratory synthesis of benzoic acid is mainly practiced for its pedagogical value. It is a common undergraduate preparation. Benzoic acid can be purified by recrystallization from water because of its high solubility in hot water and poor solubility in cold water. The avoidance of organic ...
Brominating aniline with elemental bromine gives 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. This is then diazotized, then reacted with ethanol to replace the diazonium group with hydrogen, forming 1,3,5-tribromobenzene. [3] It has also been prepared by these methods: [3] replacement of the amino group of 3,5-dibromoaniline with bromine
A weak acid cannot always be neutralized by a weak base, and vice versa. However, for the neutralization of benzoic acid (K a,A = 6.5 × 10 −5) with ammonia (K a,B = 5.6 × 10 −10 for ammonium), K = 1.2 × 10 5 >> 1, and more than 99% of the benzoic acid is converted to benzoate.
When a substituent group is located ortho position to the carboxyl group in a substituted benzoic acid compound, the compound becomes more acidic surpassing the unmodified benzoic acid. Generally ortho-substituted benzoic acids are stronger acids than their meta and para isomers.
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
The starting point for the collection of the substituent constants is a chemical equilibrium for which the substituent constant is arbitrarily set to 0 and the reaction constant is set to 1: the deprotonation of benzoic acid or benzene carboxylic acid (R and R' both H) in water at 25 °C. Scheme 1. Dissociation of benzoic acids

The reaction was first used by Antoine Béchamp to reduce nitronaphthalene and nitrobenzene to naphthylamine and aniline, respectively. [3] The Béchamp reduction is broadly applicable to aromatic nitro compounds. [4] [5] Aliphatic nitro compounds are however more difficult to reduce, often remaining as the hydroxylamine. Tertiary aliphatic ...
