The normal numbering system, starting with the carboxylic acid, is shown in blue. The carbons and oxygens of the carboxylic acid functional group are red. (B) This is the structure of oleic acid ...

Catalytic conversion of waste CO2 into value-added fuels and chemicals offers unprecedented opportunities for both ...

Amino acids are characterized by their central carbon atom, known as the α-carbon, which is bonded to an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain ...

Carboxylic acids can carry out the same reactions as other acids, for example the reactions with metals and metal carbonate. Carboxylic acids are weak acids, and will react more slowly than other ...

Fatty acids are organic acids with at least one carboxyl (-C(=O)OH, -COOH or -CO2H) group and a long carbon chain that can be joined by double bonds, as in unsaturated fatty acids, or single bonds ...
