The benzoic acid derivative 457 is formed by the carbonylation of iodoben-zene in aqueous DMF (1 1) without using a phosphine ligand at room temperature and 1 atm[311]. As optimum conditions for the technical synthesis of the anthranilic acid derivative 458, it has been found that A-acetyl protection, which has a chelating effect, is important[312]. Phase-transfer catalysis is combined with the Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of halides[3l3]. Carbonylation of 1,1-dibromoalkenes in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst gives the gem-inal dicarboxylic acid 459. Use of a polar solvent is important[314]. Interestingly, addition of trimethylsilyl chloride (2 equiv.) increased yield of the lactone 460 remarkabiy[3l5]. Formate esters as a CO source and NaOR are used for the carbonylation of aryl iodides under a nitrogen atmosphere without using CO[316]. Chlorobenzene coordinated by Cr(CO)j is carbonylated with ethyl formate[3l7]. 

A ruthenium porphyrin hydride complex was lirst prepared by protonation of the dianion, [Ru(TTP) in THF using benzoic acid or water as the proton source. The diamagnetic complex, formulated as the anionic Ru(If) hydride Ru(TTP)(H )(THF)l , showed by H NMR spectroscopy that the two faces of the porphyrin were not equivalent, and the hydride resonance appeared dramatically shifted upheld to —57.04 ppm. The hydride ligand in the osmium analogue resonates at —66.06 ppm. Reaction of [Ru(TTP)(H)(THF)j with excess benzoic-acid led to loss of the hydride ligand and formation of Ru(TTP)(THF)2. 

AcetaUzation of benzaldehyde with trimethyl orthoformate can be carried out with a series of MOFs constructed from In and BDC or BTC ligands with open In sites. The catalysts are even stable in aqueous medium and can be reused without loss of activity. Owing to the small pores of these MOFs, the reaction only takes place at the outer surface of the crystals [54]. In another MOF constructed from In and 4,4 -(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid), the same reaction takes place inside the pores [55]. 

Merola reported the preparation of hydrido(carboxylato)iridium(lll) complexes, mer-[lrCl(0C(0)R)(H)(PMe3)3] (90) (R = Ph, Me), by oxidative addition of acetic acid or benzoic acid to [Ir(cod)(PMe3)3]Cl (67) [46]. The structure of 90 (R = Ph) in which the carboxylato ligand coordinates as an T -ligand, was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The reaction of 67 with salicylic acid yielded the product 91, which resulted from activation of the O-H bond of the carboxylato but not of the hydroxo group (Scheme 6-13). 

The macrocyclic ligands utilized for incorporation of copper generally contain four nitrogens separated by ethylene or propylene groups. The overall size of the macrocycle, thus, extends to fourteen atoms in the case of 4-[(l,4,8,ll-tetraazacyclotetradec-l-yl)methyl]benzoic acid (PCBA) (Figure 8).112...

An example of the use of NMR to design inhibitors of the protein kinase p38 is shown below. The first NMR spectrum shows the resonance peaks of nicotinic acid (a) and 2-phenoxy benzoic acid (b) in the absence of a target enzyme. When a target enzyme is added, in this case the p38 MAP kinase, binding of the ligand and the enzyme causes line broadening and attenuation of the resonance peaks. This is shown by the second NMR spectrum, in which the affected peaks are those of the 2-phenoxy benzoic acid (from 7.2 ppm to 6.6 ppm), indicating the interactions between p38 MAP kinase and 2-phenoxy benzoic acid. 

Two artificial compound libraries were chosen as compound mixtures, of which library 1 was composed only of dummy ligands (acetanilide, amitryptiline, benzoic acid, (+)-bicuculline, 4-chloraniline, 2,3-dichloraniline, methylbenzoate, phenol, tramadol see Fig. 7.11), whereas library 2 contained, in addition to these compounds, naloxone, a known //-opioid receptor ligand. 

An efficient and selective Cu-assisted ortho-hydroxylation procedure for the conversion of benzoate to salicylate has been described, involving trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) as the oxidant [191,192]. The reaction was assumed to proceed via oxidation of a Cu carboxylate complex by TMAO to produce the active species (postulated to be a Cu hydroxo complex, but with only circumstantial evidence), followed by oxygen transfer to the benzoate group (Scheme 14). Using a set of different amide derivatives of benzoic acid, Comba and co-workers gained additional mechanistic hints in support of a reactive Cu-oxo or Cu-hydroxo intermediate that is stabilized by a five-membered chelate [193]. A pre-equilibrium involving Cu the ligand, and TMAO was proposed, but details of the reaction are far from clear. 

Hence, the Pi ligand parameter reflects, in an overall way, the combined a- and Tt -electronic properties of the coordination M—L bond. It is noteworthy to mention that it relates to the variation of the free-energy difference of the redox processes (consider the known expression AG = —nFE, in which n is the number of electrons transferred and F is the Faraday constant). It has analogies with the Hammett Up constant [11, 12] defined as og[Kx/Kh), that is, log Kx - log K, in which Kx and ATh are the acidic constants of the p-substituted benzoic acid HOOCCg H4X-4 and of benzoic acid itself, respectively [13] (consider also the known relationship AG = —RT nK). 

This mechanism can be illustrated by the reaction of ferrous ions with hydrogen peroxide (42), the reduction of organic peroxides by cuprous ions (63), as well as by the reduction of perchlorate ions by Ti(III) (35), V(II) (58), Eu(II) (71), The oxidation of chromous ions by bromate and nitrate ions may also be classified in this category. In the latter cases, an oxygen transfer from the ligand to the metal ion has been demonstrated (8), As analogous cases one may cite the oxidation of Cr(H20)6+2 by azide ions (15) (where it has been demonstrated that the Cr—N bond is partially retained after oxidation), and the oxidation of Cr(H20)6+2 by 0-iodo-benzoic acid (6, 8), where an iodine transfer was shown to take place. 

Amino-3-fluorobenzoic acid is an important intermediate in the synthesis of derivatives of indole, such as the potent and selective thromboxane/prostaglandin endoperoxide receptor antagonist L-670,5964 or the anti-inflammatory agent Etodolac.5 Compounds of this type have therapeutic applications. 2-Amino-3-fluoro-benzoic acid is also an important precursor for the synthesis of fluoroacridines, which can be converted to interesting tridentate ligands, such as Acriphos.6... 

Yet another hydrazine-based ligand, 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(benzoic acid hydrazone) (dpbh 10) forms an interesting complex with La(N03)3 in which the coplanar penannular pentaden-tate dpbh coordinates together with three bidentate nitrate ions to give an 11-coordinated complex. One nitrate ion is disposed near the gap in the dpbh chain with the other two above and below the dpbh plane. Interatomic distances are La—N(ligand) = 2.769-2.790, La— O(ligand) = 2.507 and 2.560, and La—O(nitrate) = 2.563-2.648 A. 

A variety of linkage isomer pairs have been produced from somewhat more complex ligands, such as substituted pyridines and benzoic acids, for example (5a) and (5b).77,78 These complexes have been employed in detailed studies of inner-sphere electron transfer reactions in order to assess the importance of the nature and orientation of the bridge between redox centres on intramolecular electron transfer rates.77-80...
