Most organic drugs contain one acid group, usually a carboxylic acid, -COOH, or one basic primary, secondary, or tertiary amino group, NC 1-3, [3,22,27,28,29] that determines the acid-base ...

which is bonded to an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain (R-group) that determines the unique properties of each amino acid. This image ...

A carboxylic acid is one which contains -COOH as its functional group. In comparison to mineral acids, carboxylic acids show some similarities, but also, some important differences.

Researchers have achieved highly efficient photo-driven carbonylation of methane (CH4) with carbonic oxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) to acetic acid (CH3COOH) using a nano-heterostructure catalyst.
