BetaCarboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by a carboxyl (-COOH) functional group. The naming of these compounds is governed by IUPAC nomenclature, which ensures systematic and consistent naming of chemicals.Numerous organic compounds have other common names, often originating in historical source material thereof.

BetaStructure of a carboxylic acid Carboxylate anion 3D structure of a carboxylic acid. In organic chemistry, a carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (−C(=O)−OH) [1] attached to an R-group.The general formula of a carboxylic acid is often written as R−COOH or R−CO 2 H, sometimes as R−C(O)OH with R referring to an organyl group (e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, aryl), or ...

BetaThe simplest carboxylic acid, formic acid (HCOOH), was first obtained by the distillation of ants (Latin formica, meaning “ant”). The bites of some ants inject formic acid, and the stings of wasps and bees contain formic acid (as well as other poisonous materials).

Beta(e.g. it is understood that butanoic acid will have C1 as the carboxyl group). Although a formal IUPAC name exits for each compound, many of the carboxylic acids have common names which are used almost exclusively. Some of these are shown in Table 1. Table 1.

BetaThe first ten members of carboxylic acids have melting points that contain an even number of carbon atoms is higher than the next lower and higher member contains an odd number of carbon atoms. e.g. CH 3 CH 2 COOH acid contains 3 carbons that have a melting point of 251 and CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH acid contains four carbons that have a melting point of 267.

BetaDifferent representations of the general formula for carboxylic acids. "R" represents the rest of the molecule. Carboxylic acids occur widely in nature, often combined with alcohols or other functional groups, as in fats, oils, and waxes. They are components of many foods, medicines, and household products (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)).

BetaThe –e ending of the parent alkane is replaced by the suffix –oic and the word acid. For example, the carboxylic acid derived from pentane is pentanoic acid (CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 COOH). As with aldehydes, the carboxyl carbon atom is counted first; numbers are used to indicate any substituted carbon atoms in the parent chain.

Betacarboxylic acid, any of a class of organic compounds in which a carbon (C) atom is bonded to an oxygen (O) atom by a double bond and to a hydroxyl group (―OH) by a single bond. A fourth bond links the carbon atom to a hydrogen (H) atom or to some other univalent combining group. The carboxyl (COOH) group is so-named because of the carbonyl group (C=O) and hydroxyl group.
