APPLICATIONS
Carboxylic acid is an organic compound formed from an alkyl group bonded to a carboxyl group, -COOH, (a carbon atom is bonded to an oxygen atom by a solid bond and to a hydroxyl group by a single bond). Examples are shown in table. In substitutive nomenclature, their names are formed by adding -oic acid' as the suffix to the name of the parent compound. They can yield two kinds of salts, as they contain two carboxyl groups in its molecules. Long-chain carboxylic acids are called fatty acids occuring as esters in fats and oils in nature. Carboxylic acids are used as solvents and as parent materials to prepare many chemical compounds. Two important derivatives in biochemistry as well as in industrial fields are esters and amides. Carboxylic acids are used to synthesize acyl halides and acid anhydrides which are generally not target compounds. They are used as intermediates for the synthesis of important derivatives, esters and amides.

Propionic acid is a clear, colorless liquid with with a slightly sweetish odor. It is soluble in water and alcohol; melts at -21 C, boils at 141 C. It is used as a presevative in feed and food industry directly or in the forms of ammonium propionate, calcium and sodium propionates. It is used to manufacture various propionates which used in the roduction of pharmaceuticals, antifungal agents, agrochemicals, plastics, plasticizers, rubber chemcials, dyes, artificial flavors and perfumery synthetics. It is used also as a solvent and in nickel-electroplating solutions. There are almost infinite esters obtained from thousands of potential starting materials. Esters are formed by removal of water from an acid and an alcohol, e.g., carboxylic acid esters, phosphoric acid esters, and sulfonic acid esters. Carboxylic acid esters are used as in a variety of direct and indirect applications. Lower chain esters are used as flavouring base materials, plasticizers, solvent carriers and coupling agents. Higher chain compounds are used as components in metalworking fluids, surfactants, lubricants, detergents, oiling agents, emulsifiers, wetting agents textile treatments and emollients, They are also used as intermediates for the manufacture of a variety of target compounds. The almost infinite esters provide a wide range of viscosity, specific gravity, vapor pressure, boiling point, and other physical and chemical properties for the proper application selections.
