Methyl benzoate can be isolated from the freshwater fern Salvinia molesta. [3] It is one of many compounds that is attractive to males of various species of orchid bees, which apparently gather the chemical to synthesize pheromones; it is commonly used as bait to attract and collect these bees for study.
An infrared spectroscopy correlation table (or table of infrared absorption frequencies) is a list of absorption peaks and frequencies, typically reported in wavenumber, for common types of molecular bonds and functional groups.
An ester of carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (organic or inorganic) and R′ stands for organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (−R).
For example, the sodium benzoate is an ionic compound with the structure C 6 H 5 –CO–O − Na +, and its condensed structural formula usually written as C 6 H 5 CO 2 Na. The suffix comes from "-oic acid". The most common examples of compounds named with the "oate" suffix are esters, like ethyl acetate, CH 3 COOCH 2 CH 3.
The efficacy of benzoic acid and benzoate is thus dependent on the pH of the food. [24] Benzoic acid, benzoates and their derivatives are used as preservatives for acidic foods and beverages such as citrus fruit juices ( citric acid ), sparkling drinks ( carbon dioxide ), soft drinks ( phosphoric acid ), pickles ( vinegar ) and other acidified ...
Methyl 4-iodobenzoate, or methyl p-iodobenzoate, is an organic compound with the formula IC 6 H 4 COOCH 3. [3] It is the methyl ester of 4-iodobenzoic acid , or may also be viewed as an iodinated derivative of methyl benzoate .
2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a natural phenol found in Phyllanthus acidus [2] and in the aquatic fern Salvinia molesta. [3] It is also abundant in the fruits of Flacourtia inermis.
The synthesis of methyl benzoate by Fischer–Speier esterification. Fischer esterification or Fischer–Speier esterification is a special type of esterification by refluxing a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. The reaction was first described by Emil Fischer and Arthur Speier in 1895. [1]
