  2. 2-Oxoadipic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Oxoadipic_acid

    2-Oxoadipic acid, also known as α-ketoadipic acid, is an intermediate in the metabolism of lysine and tryptophan. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The conjugate base and carboxylate is 2-oxoadipate or α-ketoadipate , which is the biochemically relevant form.

  3. Adipic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adipic_acid

    Adipic acid or hexanedioic acid is the organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 (COOH) 2. From an industrial perspective, it is the most important dicarboxylic acid : about 2.5 billion kilograms of this white crystalline powder are produced annually, mainly as a precursor for the production of nylon .

  4. Carboxylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylate

    Carboxylate ion Acrylate ion. In organic chemistry, a carboxylate is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid, RCOO − (or RCO − 2). It is an anion, an ion with negative charge. Carboxylate salts are salts that have the general formula M(RCOO) n, where M is a metal and n is 1, 2,....

  5. Dicarboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarboxylic_acid

    The most widely used dicarboxylic acid in the industry is adipic acid, which is a precursor in the production of nylon. Other examples of dicarboxylic acids include aspartic acid and glutamic acid, two amino acids in the human body. The name can be abbreviated to diacid; long chain aliphatic dicarboxylic acids are known as fatty diacids.

  6. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    In organic chemistry, a carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (−C(=O)−OH) [1] attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is often written as R−COOH or R−CO 2 H, sometimes as R−C(O)OH with R referring to an organyl group (e.g., alkyl, alkenyl, aryl), or hydrogen, or other groups ...

  7. Ketonic decarboxylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketonic_decarboxylation

    Ketonic decarboxylation (also known as decarboxylative ketonization) is a type of organic reaction and a decarboxylation converting two equivalents of a carboxylic acid (R−C(=O)OH) to a symmetric ketone (R 2 C=O) by the application of heat.

  8. Monocarboxylate transporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocarboxylate_transporter

    The monocarboxylate transporters, [1] or MCTs, are a family of proton-linked plasma membrane transporters that carry molecules having one carboxylate group (monocarboxylates), such as lactate, pyruvate, and ketones across biological membranes. [2]

  9. Bis (2-ethylhexyl) adipate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bis(2-ethylhexyl)_adipate

    It is the diester of 2-ethylhexanol and adipic acid. It is a colorless oily liquid. DEHA is sometimes called "dioctyl adipate", incorrectly. Another name is di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate. The abbreviation DOA has been unfortunately used for both Bis(-2-ethylhexyl)-adipate and dioctyl adipate
