Scheme 2. Hydrolysis of benzoic acid esters. Reaction constants are known for many other reactions and equilibria. Here is a selection of those provided by Hammett himself (with their values in parentheses): the hydrolysis of substituted cinnamic acid ester in ethanol/water (+1.267) the ionization of substituted phenols in water (+2.008)
Benzoic acid and its salts are used as food preservatives, represented by the E numbers E210, E211, E212, and E213. Benzoic acid inhibits the growth of mold, yeast [23] and some bacteria. It is either added directly or created from reactions with its sodium, potassium, or calcium salt. The mechanism starts with the absorption of benzoic acid ...
It reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and benzoic acid: C 6 H 5 COCl + H 2 O → C 6 H 5 COOH + HCl. Benzoyl chloride is a typical acyl chloride. It reacts with alcohols to give the corresponding esters. Similarly, it reacts with amines to give the amide. [5] [6]
Benzoic acid was shown to be genotoxic in vitro. [22] Benzoic acid therefore might have a role in benzotrichloride carcinogenicity, but benzotrichloride has more carcinogenic potential than benzoic acid, suggesting that an intermediate in hydrolysis is responsible for at least part of the carcinogenicity.

Mechanism of the benzoin addition. In this reaction, one aldehyde donates a proton and one aldehyde accepts a proton. Some aldehydes can only donate protons, such as 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, whereas benzaldehyde is both a proton acceptor and donor. In this way it is possible to synthesise mixed benzoins, i.e. products with different groups ...
Reaction mechanism for the amine formation from a carboxylic acid via Schmidt reaction. In the reaction mechanism for the Schmidt reaction of ketones, the carbonyl group is activated by protonation for nucleophilic addition by the azide, forming azidohydrin 3, which loses water in an elimination reaction to diazoiminium 5.
Methyl benzoate is formed by the condensation of methanol and benzoic acid, in presence of a strong acid. [1] [2] Methyl benzoate reacts at both the ring and the ester, depending on the substrate. Electrophiles attack the ring, illustrated by acid-catalysed nitration with nitric acid to give methyl 3-nitrobenzoate.
3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid-2-propylester (mp.: 123 °C [4]). Compared to 4-nitrobenzoic acid, another acid that is used similarly, derivates of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid have higher melting points, so that it is preferred when the 4-nitrobenzoic acid derivate has a melting point too low to be accurately identified.
