 Butyric acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Normal butyric acid or fermentation butyric acid is also found as a hexyl ester in the oil of Heracleum giganteum (cow parsnip) and as an octyl ester in parsnip (Pastinaca sativa); it has also been noticed in the fluids of the flesh and in perspiration.
Butryic acid is used in the preparation of various butyrate esters.
The acid is an oily colorless liquid that solidifies at -8 °C; it boils at 164 °C. It is easily soluble in water, ethanol and ether, and is thrown out of its aqueous solution by the addition of calcium chloride.

 Carboxylic Acid Reactivity
Acetic acid is ten times weaker an acid than formic acid (first two entries in the second row), confirming the electron donating character of an alkyl group relative to hydrogen, as noted earlier in a discussion of carbocation stability.
Reactions in which the hydroxyl group of a carboxylic acid is replaced by another nucleophilic group are important for preparing functional derivatives of carboxylic acids.
Acid catalysis is necessary to increase the electrophilic character of the carboxyl carbon atom, so it will bond more rapidly to the nucleophilic oxygen of the alcohol.

Butyric acid (butanoic acid) is one of the saturated short-chain fatty acids responsible for the characteristic flavor of butter.
Thus, "9,12-octadecadienoic acid" indicates that there is an 18-carbon chain (octa deca) with two double bonds (di en) located at carbons 9 and 12, with carbon 1 constituting a carboxyl group (oic acid).
For arachidonic acid, we subtract 14 from 20 to obtain 6; therefore, it is an omega-6 fatty acid.

The amounts of (S)-hydroxy acid were far higher than could be formed from NNK and NNN, and the total amount of hydroxy acid indicated that it was a substantial urinary metabolite of nicotine, in contrast to results with rats.
These results indicate that conversion of nicotine to keto acid and hydroxy acid is a substantial metabolic pathway in humans, accounting for an estimated 14% of the nicotine dose.
Apparently, keto acid is extensively converted to hydroxy acid in humans, in contrast to the results with rats.

Comparative studies of the uptake and metabolic utilization of short-chain and long-chain fluorescent pyrene fatty acids in cultured lymphoblasts (15) and in fibroblasts (16) have shown that short-chain (pyrene-butanoic) acid was incorporated into phospholipids but not in triacylglycerols, whereas long-chain (pyrene-decanoic and pyrene-dodecanoic) fatty acids were incorporated into phospholipids and triacylglycerols.
Cellular lipids were extracted by the Folch procedure (22) and separated by TLC on Silica Gel G plates, using petroleum ether/diethyl ether/acetic acid (80/20/1 (v/v/v)) for the separation of the neutral lipids and chloroform/methanol/water (100/42/6 (v/v/v)) for the separation of the phospholipids.

 CHEMystery: Organic Chemistry: Carboxylic Acids
Because carboxylic acids have both a lone oxygen and an OH group, they are strongly hydrogen-bonded to each other, therefore having high boiling points.
In an mixture with carboxylic alcohol, an equilibrium reaction forms ester and water in the presence of heat and a strong acid catalyst.
An ester is hydrolyzed to its parent acid and alcohol when it is heated together with a stoichiometric excess of water (with acid catalyst)--this is the reverse of the reaction above.
