Propanoic acid, a saturated precursor of acrylic acid, can be resolved from acrylic acid in a 13 min analysis at 1 mL/min flow rate using a 0.1% aqueous phosphoric acid mobile base.
An amount of acrylic acid equivalent to twice the target concentration for a 4-h air sample was spiked onto glass wool contained in a section of glass tubing that was mounted ahead of two sampling tubes.
Propanoic acid, the saturated form of acrylic acid, is only partially resolved from acrylic acid under the routine analytical conditions.

 Propanoic Acid, and its Calcium and Sodium Salts; Exemption from the Requirement of a Tolerance
Propanoic acid is formed as the body oxidizes longer chain odd-numbered fatty acids or the side chain of cholesterol.
Propanoic acid demonstrates an acute toxicity profile that is consistent with that of an acid: it is highly acutely toxic for eye and dermal irritation, i.e., it is corrosive to the eyes and skin.
The JECFA monograph deemed propanoic to be of such low concern that the acceptable daily intake is ``not specified.'' A consideration in this decision was the understanding that ``propionate is a normal intermediary metabolite, and a normal constituent of foods.'' Propanoic acid and its calcium and sodium salts are FDA affirmed GRAS direct food additives.

 Patent 4100350: 3-Substituted propanoic acid derivatives
This invention relates to propanoic acid derivatives substituted in the 3-position by a cyclopentenyl group and to a method by which such compounds may be prepared.
The salts of the acids of formula II are preferably alkali metal salts such as the sodium or potassium salts and, if these are prepared by optional step (i) above, that preparation may be readily accomplished by reaction of the acid with an appropriate base such as an alkali metal hydroxide, carbonate or hydrogen carbonate.
Thus the free acids of formula II may be reacted with an optically active amine such as (-)-ephedrine or (+)- and (-)-.alpha.-methylbenzylamine, the difference in the solubility of the diastereoisomers obtained permitting selective recrystallisation of one form and regeneration of the optically active acids of formula II from the mixture.

 EPA: Federal Register: Propanoic Acid; Pesticide Tolerance
The petition requested that 40 CFR 180 be amended by establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for residues of the fungicide propionic acid, in or on the raw agricultural commodities sugar beets, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Accordingly, EPA finds that exempting propanoic acid, and its calcium and sodium salts from the requirement of a tolerance will be safe for the general public, including infants and children.
(b) Propanoic acid is exempt from the requirement of a tolerance forresidues in or on meat and meat byproducts of cattle, sheep, hogs, goats,horses, and poultry, milk, and eggs when applied as a bactericide/fungicide to livestock drinking water, poultry litter, and storage areas for silage and grain.

The suffix part of the name is based on the carboxylic acid, but the "…oic acid" becomes "…oate" eg ethyl ethanoate, methyl ethanoate, pentyl butanoate etc. (lots of isomeric permutations as the total C number rises).
The positions of the substituent(s) are denoted with a prefix eg amino, hydroxy, halo… or alkyl… groups etc., and the position denoted by using the lowest possible numbers for the associated carbon atoms in the main chain.
The 'lowest' numbers are determined by assigning number 1 to the carbon of the carboxylic acid (or other derived) group at the end of the longest C atom chain.

The full deprotection of 32, including decarboxylation, to produce the desired amino acid 33 was accomplished in a straightforward manner with concentrated HBr, as per the deprotection of the aminomethyl analogue 6.
It being reasoned that the products of deprotection were diluting or altering the hydriodic acid, and possibly lowering the reflux temperature, the intermediate mixture was isolated on ion exchange resin with copious washings to remove traces of free iodine, and then re-refluxed with fresh acid for a further 9 hours whereupon the reaction was complete.
It is worth noting in passing the care with which the deprotections of AMAA and ibotenic acid derivatives have been performed to avoid decarboxylation [ 31, 34 ] and that ibotenic acid apparently owes at least some of its in vivo activity to decarboxylation to muscimol [ 35 ].

 Definition of Carboxylic acid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In chemistry, carboxylic acids (also called alkanoic acids) are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group.
So for example, trichloroacetic acid (three -Cl groups) is a stronger acid than lactic acid (one -OH group) which in turn is stronger than acetic acid (no helping group).
Carboxylic acids react with bases to form carboxylate salts, in which the hydrogen of the -OH group is replaced with a metal ion.

 Understanding the names of organic compounds
Propanoic acid is a three carbon acid with no carbon-carbon double bonds.
As with the previous examples involving acids and acid derivatives, don't forget that the carbon in the -CN group counts as part of the chain.
As with all acids the carbon chain is numbered so that the carbon in the -COOH group is counted as number 1.

b) Propanoic acid has a higher boiling point than butanal because there is hydrogen bonding between propanoic acid molecules and only dipole-dipole attractions between butanal molecules.
Acids turn blue litmus paper red, so this compound must be the acid propanoic acid.
The products of acid hydrolysis are three carboxylic acids (fatty acids) instead of salts.

Butanal and propanoic acid have almost the same molar mass yet the boiling point of propanoic acid is 141oC while the boiling point of butanal is 78 oC.
(4) In propanoic acid you have a polar hydrogen (attached to an oxygen) which can hydrogen bond with the C=O in another acid molecule so there are more possibilities for interactions (hydrogen bonds) in the acid and therefore the bp increases since more energy is required to separate the molecules.
Because of their structure, acids form dimers which has the effect of doubling their effective mass and also contributes to the higher boiling point.

 Macromolecular Nomenclature Note No. 7
The need for a convenient and accurate nomenclature to describe cascade polymers was apparent from the difficulty and time required to name even the simplest of these structures using the rules for organic molecules.
These names obscure the number and type of terminal moieties, the constituency of the initiator core, and the structural similarity of the two molecules.
