Description

General description

Benzoic acid is an organic aromatic monocarboxylic acid. It reacts with hydrogenating reagents to afford hexahydrobenzoic acid. On decomposition (by heating) in the presence of lime or alkali, it affords benzene and carbon dioxide. It can be synthesized by the cobalt or manganese catalyzed atmospheric oxidation of toluene.

Application

Benzoic acid may be employed as a standard in the quantitative and calorimetric studies. It may be employed as an intermediate in the following syntheses:

paints
pigments
varnish
wetting agents
aroma compounds
benzoyl chloride
benzotrichloride

Nematic liquid crystalline elastomer grating and microwire fabricated by micro-molding in capillaries.

Renbo Wei et al.

Macromolecular rapid communications, 34(4), 330-334 (2013-01-03)

A new approach is developed to fabricate highly oriented mono-domain LCE nano/microstructures through micro-molding in capillaries. Gratings and microwires as two typical examples are fabricated and characterized by polarizing optical microscopy, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The gratings with
