CAS 65-85-0: Benzoic acid
Description:
Benzoic acid (C7H6O2) is a simple carboxylic acid found as a crystalline solid at ambient temperature. It is odourless and is used in the food industry as a preservative in salt form. In medicine it can also be used to treat athlete's foot as an antifungal. Very common in the pharmaceutical industry.

CAS:Benzoic acid is a preservative that has been used for a long time and is found in sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Benzoic acid inhibits the enzyme activity of bacterial catalase and peroxidase. Benzoic acid binds to bacterial DNA with high affinity and is able to penetrate the cell membrane. The antimicrobial activity of benzoic acid is dependent on its concentration. At concentrations greater than 0.5%, it forms an inner salt with potassium ions, which can lead to the death of bacteria by inhibiting their growth or interfering with their metabolism.Formula:C7H6O2Color and Shape:White Off-White PowderMolecular weight:122.12 g/molBenzoic acid

CAS:Benzoic acid is an important precursor for the preparation of many other organic substances viz. benzoyl chloride, benylbenzoate, phenol, sodium benzoate, benzyl alcohol as well as benzoate plasticizers such as glycol-, diethhyleneglycol- and triethyleneglycol esters. Benzoic acid and its salts are used as food preservatives. It is involved in rubber polymerization as an activator and a retardant. It is the main component of benzoin resin and is a constituent of Whitfield’s ointment, which is used for the treatment of fungal skin diseases such as tinea, ringworm and athlete’s foot. It is widely used in cosmetics, dyes, plastics and insect repellents. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
