Butyric acid (/ ˈ b j uː t ɪ r ɪ k /; from Ancient Greek: βούτῡρον, meaning "butter"), also known under the systematic name butanoic acid, is a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 COOH. It is an oily, colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor. Isobutyric acid (2-methylpropanoic acid) is an ...

Butenoic acid is any of three monocarboxylic acids with an unbranched 4-carbon chain with 3 single bonds and one double bond; that is, with the structural formula HO(O=)C – CH=CH – CH 2 –H (2-butenoic) or HO(O=)C – CH 2 – CH=CH –H (3-butenoic). All have the chemical formula C 3 H 5 COOH or C 4 H 6 O 2.

2-Methylbutanoic acid, also known as 2-methylbutyric acid is a branched-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH(CH 3)CO 2 H, classified as a short-chain fatty acid. It exists in two enantiomeric forms, ( R )- and ( S )-2-methylbutanoic acid.
Butyric anhydride or butanoic anhydride is the chemical compound with the formula (CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CO) 2 O. The molecule can be described as a condensation of two molecules of butyric acid with elimination of one water molecule (hence its name).
