All of these acids are unusually strong for organic acids, and should generally be treated with similar care as for strong mineral acids like hydrochloric acid.Even neutral salts however, tend to be significantly toxic, because the ions interfere in biological processes (such as the citric acid cycle) that normally process plain acetate ions.
The designation "HAA9" refers to a larger group of HAAs, including all of the acids in HAA5, along with: Bromochloroacetic acid (ClBrCH−CO 2 H) Bromodichloroacetic acid (Cl 2 BrC−CO 2 H) Dibromochloroacetic acid (ClBr 2 C−CO 2 H) Tribromoacetic acid (Br 3 C−CO 2 H) The level of these four acids in drinking water is not regulated by the EPA.

Some traditional names for common carboxylic acids (such as acetic acid) are in such widespread use that they are retained in IUPAC nomenclature, [7] though systematic names like ethanoic acid are also used. Carboxylic acids attached to a benzene ring are structural analogs of benzoic acid (Ph−COOH) and are named as one of its derivatives ...
Chloroacetic acid was first prepared (in impure form) by the French chemist Félix LeBlanc (1813–1886) in 1843 by chlorinating acetic acid in the presence of sunlight, [3] and in 1857 (in pure form) by the German chemist Reinhold Hoffmann (1831–1919) by refluxing glacial acetic acid in the presence of chlorine and sunlight, [4] and then by the French chemist Charles Adolphe Wurtz by ...
Numerous organic compounds have other common names, often originating in historical source material thereof. The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid.
Dichloroacetic acid (DCA), sometimes called bichloroacetic acid (BCA), is the organic compound with formula CHCl 2 CO 2 H. It is an analogue of acetic acid, in which 2 of the 3 hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have been replaced by chlorine atoms. Like the other chloroacetic acids, it has various practical applications.
Bromoacetic acid is the chemical compound with the formula Br C H 2 CO 2 H. This colorless solid is a relatively strong alkylating agent . Bromoacetic acid and its esters are widely used building blocks in organic synthesis , for example, in pharmaceutical chemistry .
