Fumaric acid is (E)-1,4-but-2-enedioic acid, a trans isomer, whereas maleic acid is the corresponding cis isomer, i.e. (Z)-1,4-but-2-enedioic acid (see cis-trans isomerism). Fumaric acid has pK a values of approximately 3.0 and 4.5. By contrast, maleic acid has pK a values of approximately 1.5 and 6.5.

The term alcohol originally referred to the primary alcohol ethanol (ethyl alcohol), which is used as a drug and is the main alcohol present in alcoholic drinks. The suffix -ol appears in the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) chemical name of all substances where the hydroxyl group is the functional group with the ...
The therapeutic effects of salicylic acids were first documented in 1763 by Edward Stone, with acetylsalicylic acid being synthesized by Felix Hoffmann, a chemist working under Bayer, in 1897. [4] Acetylsalicylic acid-derived salt compounds were first discovered in 1970, [5] and the synthesis of lysine acetylsalicylate was first documented in ...
Salicin is found in the bark of and leaves of willows, poplars and various other plants. [5] Derivates are found in castoreum.Salicin from meadowsweet was used in the synthesis of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), [6] in 1899 by scientists at Bayer.
