Study Notes
Carboxylic Acids
- Carboxylic acids are found in nature, mainly in fruits, and were among the first organic compounds to be isolated from nature.
- Edible carboxylic acids found in citrus fruits and fermented milk have sharp flavors.
Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acids
- Common names of carboxylic acids are derived from Latin names indicating their natural source.
- Examples:
- Formic acid (from ants, Formica)
- Acetic acid (from vinegar, Acetum)
- Propionic acid (from basic fat, Propio)
- Butyric acid (from rancid butter, Butyrum)
- Valeric acid (from Valerian herb)
- Caproic acid (from goat, Caper)
