| 11. | Several benzoic acid derivatives have been described in leaves of various Piperaceae species.
|
| 12. | When oxidized it yields benzaldehyde and benzoic acid, two important intermediates in chemistry.
|
| 13. | It can be produced by reacting sodium hydroxide with benzoic acid.
|
| 14. | "' Magnesium benzoate "'is a chemical compound formed from magnesium and benzoic acid.
|
| 15. | This means that ortho-substituted benzoic acids are stronger than meta-and para-substituted benzoic acids.
|
| 16. | For example, benzaldehyde decomposes into benzoic acid and benzyl alcohol, the Cannizzaro reaction.
|
| 17. | Benzoic acid occurs naturally as do its esters in many plant and animal species.
|
| 18. | It works best in low-pH products, below 4.5, where it exists as benzoic acid.
|
| 19. | The main component in these natural products is benzoic acid.
|
| 20. | This enzyme participates in benzoic acid degradation via CoA ligation.
