High impact information on BENZILIC ACID

  • Oral administration of benzilic acid ester-based acaricide bromopropylate at daily doses of 3, 15, 100, and 300 mg/kg body wt to young adult male Tif:MAGf mice for 14 days caused slightly increased liver weights in the high-dose group [1].
  • Furthermore, contrary to literature speculations, 2-methyl-4, 5-dihydro-3(2H)-furanone was shown to be formed by ring contraction of 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4(H)-pyran-4-one, through benzilic acid rearrangement, followed by decarboxylation [2].
  • At pH 7.5 the concentration of this ion declines slowly, giving rise first to the N-hydroxyethyl derivative and then ultimately, following hydrolysis of the ester bond, to NN-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)propylamine and benzilic acid [3].
