Application
- A familiar ring to it: biosynthesis of plant benzoic acids - This study explores the biosynthetic pathways leading to benzoic acid in plants, important for understanding plant metabolism and engineering synthetic pathways for production of benzoic acid derivatives (Widhalm and Dudareva, 2015).
- Pd (II)-catalysed meta-C-H functionalizations of benzoic acid derivatives - Describes a method for the meta-C-H functionalization of benzoic acid derivatives, which could be pivotal for synthetic chemistry applications (Li et al., 2016).
