Application

4-Isopropylbenzoic acid (cuminic acid) was used in the synthesis of three new triorganotin carboxylates bearing methyl, butyl and phenyl substituents at tin, respectively. The products were fully characterized by spectroscopic and thermal techniques, with regard to the coordination number of tin atom, in solution and in the solid state.

Pseudomonas putida F1 utilizes p-cymene (p-isopropyltoluene) by an 11-step pathway through p-cumate (p-isopropylbenzoate) to isobutyrate, pyruvate, and acetyl coenzyme A. The cym operon, encoding the conversion of p-cymene to p-cumate, is located just upstream of the cmt operon, which encodes

A novel tightly regulated gene expression system was developed for Escherichia coli by applying the regulatory elements of the Pseudomonas putida F1 cym and cmt operons to control target gene expression at the transcriptional level by using p-isopropylbenzoate (cumate) as

PmxaF is a strong methanol-inducible promoter in Methylobacterium extorquens. When this promoter is cloned in expression vectors and used to drive heterologous gene expression, methanol inducibility is either greatly reduced or entirely lost. In order to bestow inducibility upon the
