Carbamic acid is a planar molecule. [3]The H 2 N− group of carbamic acid, unlike that of most amines, cannot be protonated to an ammonium group H 3 N + −.The zwitterionic form H 3 N + −COO − is very unstable and promptly decomposes into ammonia and carbon dioxide, [6] yet there is a report of its detection in ices irradiated with high-energy protons.
An aminopolycarboxylic acid (sometimes abbreviated APCA) is a chemical compound containing one or more nitrogen atoms connected through carbon atoms to two or more carboxyl groups. Aminopolycarboxylates that have lost acidic protons form strong complexes with metal ions.
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 ...
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. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
N-(2-Carboxyethyl)iminodiacetic acid or β-ADA (β-alanine diacetate) is an organic compound with the formula HO 2 CCH 2 CH 2 N(CH 2 CO 2 H) 2. It is a white solid. The compound is classified as an aminocarboxylic acid, formally a derivative of glycine.
Structure of a typical L-alpha-amino acid in the "neutral" form. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. [1] Although over 500 amino acids exist in nature, by far the most important are the 22 α-amino acids incorporated into proteins. [2]
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), also called EDTA acid, is an aminopolycarboxylic acid with the formula [CH 2 N(CH 2 CO 2 H) 2] 2. This white, slightly water-soluble solid is widely used to bind to iron (Fe 2+ /Fe 3+) and calcium ions (Ca 2+), forming water-soluble complexes even at neutral pH. It is thus used to dissolve Fe- and Ca ...
Glycine functions as a bidentate ligand for many metal ions, forming amino acid complexes. [29] A typical complex is Cu(glycinate) 2, i.e. Cu(H 2 NCH 2 CO 2) 2, which exists both in cis and trans isomers. [30] [31] With acid chlorides, glycine converts to the amidocarboxylic acid, such as hippuric acid [32] and acetylglycine. [33]
