General description

Benzenesulfonic acid, also known as besylic acid, is a strong organic acid commonly used as an acid catalyst in various organic reactions, such as esterification, alkylation, and condensation reactions. It is also used as a sulfonating agent to introduce sulfonic acid (SO3H) groups into organic compounds, which can be useful in the synthesis of several dye intermediates.

A series of 4-[1-(substituted aryl/alkyl carbonyl)-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-benzene sulphonic acids (1-20) was synthesized and evaluated, in vitro, for their antimicrobial activity and the results indicated that compounds 4-[1-(4-Nitrobenzoyl)-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl]-benzenesulfonic acid (9) and 4-(1-octadec-9-enoyl-1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-benzenesulfonic acid (18) were found to be the most active ones.

We present lamellar self-assembly of cationic poly(L-histidine) (PLH) stoichiometrically complexed with an anionic surfactant, dodecyl benzenesulfonic acid (DBSA), which allows a stabilized conformation reminiscent of polyproline type II (PPII) left-handed helices. Such a conformation has no intrapeptide hydrogen bonds, and

A novel, convenient, and efficient method has been developed for selective synthesis of spirocycle, polycycle, and di- and tetrahydronaphthalene systems from aryl-substituted propargylic alcohols by FeCl3- or TsOH-catalyzed multiple activations of unsaturated C-C bonds and C-H bonds.
