Benzoic acid is the simplest aromatic carboxylic acid and an intermediate in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Available in various quantities and reagent grades, it is used to produce phenol, plasticizers, benzoyl chloride, food preservatives, etc.
Benzoic acid is an important precursor for the preparation of many other organic substances viz. benzoyl chloride, benylbenzoate, phenol, sodium benzoate, benzyl alcohol as well as benzoate plasticizers such as glycol-, diethhyleneglycol- and triethyleneglycol esters.

A rearrangement reaction occurs when the carbon skeleton of a molecule is rearranged to provide a structural isomer of the original molecule. Frequently, a substituent moves from one atom to another atom in the same molecule.
Organic acids are organic compounds that possess acidic properties. They do not fully dissolve in water, which makes them weak acids. Various industries use organic acids for corrosion treatment and prevention because they are minimally reactive to mineral acids.
