  2. Propionic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propionic_acid

    Propionic acid was first described in 1844 by Johann Gottlieb, who found it among the degradation products of sugar. [10] Over the next few years, other chemists produced propionic acid by different means, none of them realizing they were producing the same substance.

  4. β-Alanine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-Alanine

    β-Alanine (beta-alanine) is a naturally occurring beta amino acid, which is an amino acid in which the amino group is attached to the β-carbon (i.e. the carbon two carbon atoms away from the carboxylate group) instead of the more usual α-carbon for alanine (α-alanine). The IUPAC name for β-alanine is 3-aminopropanoic acid.

  7. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 hydrogen, or other groups ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky...

    An example of the Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky reaction can be seen in the preparation of alanine from propionic acid.In the first step, a combination of bromine and phosphorus tribromide is used in the Hell–Volhard–Zelinsky reaction to prepare 2-bromopropionic acid, [3] which in the second step is converted to a racemic mixture of the amino acid product by ammonolysis.

  9. Ibuprofen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibuprofen

    The name is derived from the 3 functional groups: isobutyl (ibu) propionic acid (pro) phenyl (fen). [74] Its discovery was the result of research during the 1950s and 1960s to find a safer alternative to aspirin. [13] [75] The molecule was discovered and synthesized by a team led by Stewart Adams, with a patent application filed in 1961. [13]
