Catabolism of homophthalic acid by a soil bacterium.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 49(2-3) , 305-8, (1989)

A microorganism capable of degrading homophthalic acid as a sole source of carbon was isolated from soil. The strain was tentatively identified as Pseudomonas sp. Oxygen uptake studies were carried out with possible intermediates. Assays for several different...

An expeditious and environmentally friendly synthesis of 3-substituted isocoumarins using microwave irradiation.

Nat. Prod. Res. 22(13) , 1120-7, (2008)

A microwave-assisted, environmentally friendly, high-yielding, time-saving synthesis of medicinally important 3-substituted isocoumarins was carried out in a single step by direct condensation of homophthalic acid with aryol and acyl chlorides under solvent-f...

Metabolic pathway of homophthalic acid in Pseudomonas alcaligenes.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 110(1) , 59-64, (1993)

A microorganism capable of degrading homophthalic acid as a sole carbon source was isolated from garden soil. The strain was identified as Pseudomonas alcaligenes. The organism degraded homophthalate by a pathway which involved phenylacetate and p-hydroxyphen...
