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-cumate (p-isopropylbenzoate) as a growth substrate by means of an eight-step catabolic pathway. A 35.75-kb DNA segment, within which the cmt operon encoding the catabolism of p-cumate is located, was cloned as four separate overlapping restriction
