Carboxylic acid, any of a class of organic compounds in which a carbon atom is bonded to an oxygen atom by a double bond and to a hydroxyl group by a single bond. They are generally more acidic than other organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups but
Understand how carboxylic acid is derived. Learn the structure and formula of the carboxylic acids and their physical properties and see reactions...
Carboxylic acid amides of general formula which inhibit telomerase and are useful for treating tumor diseases such as carcinomas, sarcomas and leukaemias. Exemplary compounds are: (1) trans-3-(naphth-2-yl)-but-2-enoic acid-N-(2-carboxy-phenyl)-amide, and, (2) trans-3-(naphth-2-yl)-...
For example, beeswax contains, among other components, the ester made from cerotic acid (C26) and the unbranched-chain alcohol containing 30 carbons, triacontanol. Odd-numbered fatty acids have been found only in trace amounts in natural compounds, but many have been produced synthetically in...
EXAMPLE:cis-2-[( 3,5-Bistrifluoromethylphenyl )-aminocarbonyl]-cyclohexane-carboxylic acid. USE:It has antispasmodic action, antianoxic action, antianxiety action and sedative action, and is useful as a remedy and preventive for various diseases causing spasm, e.g. epilepsy, sequela of ...
Generally, these organic compounds are referred to by their trivial names, which contain the suffix “-ic acid”. An example of atrivial name for a carboxylic acid is acetic acid (CH3COOH). In the IUPAC nomenclature of these compounds, the suffix“-oic acid”is assigned. ...
The invention relates to novel carboxylic-acid-ester-type tetraalkyl ammonium salts, the production thereof and the pharmaceutical use thereof in fungal and bacterial infections and as potential inhibitors in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. The compounds, which are produced by reacting aliphatic or phen...
The carboxylic acid modifiers control the alcohol adsorption affinity of the catalyst, resulting in tunable alcohol oxidation reactivity. MnO x modified with carboxylic acids exhibits chemoselectivity in hydroxynitrile synthesis via aerobic ammoxidation of hydroxyaldehyde. Results Catalyst synthesis and ...
These compounds, which are highly reactive, do not occur in nature, but they are valuable reagents for the laboratory synthesis of esters and amides. When two acyl groups are bonded to a common oxygen atom, the compound is an acid anhydride. These compounds are also employed for laboratory ...
The synthesis of α-bromo aliphatic carboxylic acids, for example 158, on a 0.1 mol. scale, can be readily achieved using the corresponding aliphatic acid and NBS (1.5 equiv.) in a trifluoroacetic acid/sulfuric acid mixture. The racemic α-bromocarboxylic acids are returned in excellent yields...
