    an organic acid characterized by one or more carboxyl groups

GCIDE

  1. carboxylic acidnoun

    an organic compound whose acidity is due to the presence of a carboxyl gorup. Monocarboxylic acids (such as acetic acid or butyric acid) have one carboxyl group, dicarboxylic acids (such as oxalic acid or malonic acid) have two, tricarboxylic acids (such as citric acid) have three.

Wiktionary

  1. carboxylic acidnoun

    Any of a class of organic compounds containing a carboxyl functional group.

Wikipedia

  1. Carboxylic acid

    In organic chemistry, a carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group (C(=O)OH) attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO2H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids. Deprotonation of a carboxylic acid gives a carboxylate anion.

  1. carboxylic acid

    A carboxylic acid is a type of organic compound that contains a carboxyl functional group (-COOH). The general formula for a carboxylic acid is R-COOH, where R is any type of group of atoms. Examples of carboxylic acids include acetic acid (in vinegar) and formic acid (in ant stings). They are characterized by their acidic properties and can participate in various reactions, such as ester formation.

  1. Carboxylic acid

    A carboxylic acid is an organic acid characterized by the presence of at least one carboxyl group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R-COOH, where R is some monovalent functional group. A carboxyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl and a hydroxyl, which has the formula -COH, usually written as -COOH or -CO2H. Carboxylic acids are Brønsted-Lowry acids because they are proton donors. They are the most common type of organic acid. Among the simplest examples are formic acid H-COOH, which occurs in ants, and acetic acid CH3-COOH, which gives vinegar its sour taste. Acids with two or more carboxyl groups are called dicarboxylic, tricarboxylic, etc. The simplest dicarboxylic example is oxalic acid (COOH)2, which is just two connected carboxyls. Mellitic acid is an example of a hexacarboxylic acid. Other important natural examples are citric acid and tartaric acid. Salts and esters of carboxylic acids are called carboxylates. When a carboxyl group is deprotonated, its conjugate base forms a carboxylate anion. Carboxylate ions are resonance stabilized and this increased stability makes carboxylic acids more acidic than alcohols. Carboxylic acids can be seen as reduced or alkylated forms of the Lewis acid carbon dioxide; under some circumstances they can be decarboxylated to yield carbon dioxide.
