  2. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

    Acetic acid, which at low concentrations is known as vinegar, ... Side effects may include burning at the site of application. [6] Allergic reactions may rarely occur ...

  4. Peracetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peracetic_acid

    Peracetic acid (also known as peroxyacetic acid, or PAA) is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 3 H. This peroxy acid is a colorless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor reminiscent of acetic acid. It can be highly corrosive. Peracetic acid is a weaker acid than the parent acetic acid, with a pK a of 8.2. [2]

  6. Vinegar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar

    Vinegar typically contains from 5% to 18% acetic acid by volume. [1] Usually, the acetic acid is produced by a double fermentation, converting simple sugars to ethanol using yeast and ethanol to acetic acid using acetic acid bacteria. [2] Many types of vinegar are made, depending on source materials.

  7. Haloacetic acids - Wikipedia

    Dichloroacetic acid (Cl 2 CH−CO 2 H) Trichloroacetic acid (Cl 3 C−CO 2 H) Bromoacetic acid (BrCH 2 −CO 2 H) Dibromoacetic acid (Br 2 CH−CO 2 H) The regulation limit for these five acids combined is 60 parts per billion (ppb). [5] The sum of bromodichloroacetic acid, dibromochloroacetic acid and tribromoacetic acid concentrations is ...

  8. Acetaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetaldehyde

    Traditionally, acetaldehyde was mainly used as a precursor to acetic acid. This application has declined because acetic acid is produced more efficiently from methanol by the Monsanto and Cativa processes. Acetaldehyde is an important precursor to pyridine derivatives, pentaerythritol, and crotonaldehyde.

  9. Sodium diacetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_diacetate

    It can be viewed as the result of homoassociation, an effect that enhances the acidity of acetic acid in concentrated solution: 2 CH 3 CO 2 H + NaOH → Na + [(CH 3 CO 2) 2 H] − + H 2 O. Also described as the sodium acid salt of acetic acid, it is best described as the sodium salt of the hydrogen-bonded anion (CH 3 CO 2) 2 H −.
