[edit] SMILES
Shouldn't the SMILES name have 'c' instead of 'C' because those carbons are armomatic?
[edit] New Page
I created a new page for Benzoic acid. With a little work and some help it will be good.

- Now its up to you to give me sugestions what is still needed or be changed. Even the pictures can easyly be changed! Stone 13:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
To help you, here are a few suggestions.
- Don't use footnotes in the opening text. That text is just a summary of the article (and make it so).
- Use real footnotes: e.g., see acetic acid how it is to be done (with ref templates)
- always balance your markup, e.g. <sup> with </sup> and <sub> with </sub>
Just a few things I noticed will looking at the source text. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 18:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Incorrect image label
Stone, Image:Benzoic acid-chemical-reaction-2.png has a minor error. The reaction of benzoic acid with PCl5 makes benzoyl chloride, not benzyl chloride. ~K 16:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- I mss smtimes a ltter whn I tpe a litle fater tan norl! I will upload a corrected version. Stone 19:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

- I found the missing o and put it into the sceme!Stone 13:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lab Syn
Neither of the lab syn is done in reall! But the benzaldehyde is the source for unwanted benzoic acid. For more complicated aromatic acids all three methodes are used. Even the synthesis from the dichloride and the alcohl is used.--Stone 22:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] thermochemistry
Some body suggested tp include the important role of benzoic acid in thermochemistry. I am no expert. This should decide somebody else. T. Loerting, K. R. Liedl (1998).
