Benzoic acid History

 Benzoic acid (CAS NO.65-85-0) was discovered in the 16th century. The dry distillation of gum benzoin first described by Nostradamus in 1556, and subsequently by Alexius Pedemontanus (1560) and Blaise de Vigenère (1596). Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Wöhler determined the structure in 1832.They also investigated how hippuric acid is related to it. In 1875, Salkowski discovered the antifungal abilities of Benzoic acid, which was used for a long time in the preservation of benzoate-containing cloudberry fruits.

5. Use of Benzoic acid
The usage of the Benzoic acid as following:
1.Feedstock: It is an important precursor for the synthesis of many other organic substances.
2.Food preservative: It and its salts are used as a food preservative.
3.Medicinal
4.Biology and health effects

6. Preparation of Benzoic acid
 Benzoic acid is cheap and readily available, so the laboratory synthesis of benzoic acid is mainly practiced for its pedagogical value.
For all syntheses, it can be purified by recrystallization from water because of its high solubility in hot water and poor solubility in cold water. The avoidance of organic solvents for the recrystallization makes this experiment particularly safe. Other possible recrystallization solvents include acetic acid (anhydrous or aqueous), benzene, petroleum ether, and a mixture of ethanol and water.
It can be manufactured by the liquid-phase oxidation of toluene by air in a continuous oxidation reactor operated at moderate pressure and temperature:
2C6H5CH3 + 3O2 → 2C6H5COOH + 4H2O
It also can be obtained as a by-product of the manufacture of benzaldehyde from benzal chloride or benzyl chloride.
